Abstract:
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is primarily a childhood disease and is less common in adults where the incidence varies from 3.4 to 14.3 cases per million. We describe a case of adult HSP and discuss the role of videocapsule endoscopy, which is a non-invasive and safe method to evaluate the typical mucosa changes in especially small bowel. Medical doctors should be aware of HSP in adults and pay attention to the fact that in an unusual presentation with gastrointestinal manifestation videocapsule endoscopy may play a safe diagnostic role.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
