Dear Sir, Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis of the small vessels of the skin, joints, gastrointestinal (GI) tract and kidney. GI involvement occurs in 50– 75% of patients [1] . The duodenum is the predominant lesion, and HSP may also affect the esophagus, stomach, and colon. It is rare that the stricture occurs in the large intestine, as in our patient.
