Scand J Rheumatol. 1996;25(5):334-6. doi: 10.3109/03009749609104068.

Abstract

Protein losing enteropathy is rarely associated with Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Moreover, the disease association of Henoch-Schönlein purpura and rheumatoid arthritis is also rare. We report a case of a 46 year old patient with rheumatoid arthritis presenting with Henoch-Schönlein purpura associated with protein losing enteropathy.
