Abstract
|
|
|
|
Peripheral nervous system dysfunction is a rare complication in Henoch-Schonlein purpura, but it tends to recover spontaneously without treatment. A 78-year-old man who had ankylosing spondylitis presented with Henoch-Schonlein purpura associated with progressive sensorimotor polyneuropathy. He was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, which did not improve despite intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. We describe a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura, accompanied by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis.
