How should I approach the management of a patient with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura who presents with abdominal pain?

Abdominal pain is a recognized manifestation of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) (Leung et al., 2020). HSP can be associated with various factors, including infections such as rotavirus (Tang et al., 2017), and may present alongside other systemic conditions like pulmonary tuberculosis (Li et al., 2020). However, the provided UK clinical guidelines, including those from CKS and NICE, do not offer specific guidance on the management of abdominal pain in patients with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura ¹,²,³,⁴,⁵,⁶,⁷. Similarly, the provided peer-reviewed literature confirms abdominal pain as a feature of HSP but does not detail specific management protocols for this symptom (Tang et al., 2017; Leung et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020).
