Henoch-Schönlein Purpura and Peroneal Nerve Palsy after Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome

Abstract

In the course of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), mild neurological symptoms such as headache, vertigo and nausea are common. Peripheral neuropathy in HFRS is very rare. Henoch- Schönlein purpura (HSP) is an immunologically medicated systemic vasculitis of small blood vessels affecting the skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints and kidneys, predominantly. Neurological complications in HSP include headache, focal cerebral deficit, coma, convulsion, subarachnoid hemorrhage and chorea. Peripheral neuropathy is also very rare. However there was no case report about HSP and peroneal nerve palsy after HFRS. With a brief review of the literature, we report a case of HSP and peroneal nerve palsy following HFRSope
