We report a 62‐year‐old man who presented with Schönlein‐Henoch purpura (SHP) associated with duodenal ulcer and gastric Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. The recurrent purpuric rash faded after HP eradication with amoxycillin, clarythromycin, and omeprazole treatment. These findings suggest a causative role for HP in the occurrence of SHP.
