Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a disease that involves palpable purpura on the skin, joint pain, and gastrointestinal problems. An acute bacterial infection is one of the causes of HSP. Odontogenic infectious diseases have also been implicated in causing HSP. However, there are only a few reports describing the correlation between HSP and odontogenic infectious diseases. The present study describes a case in which a patient was cured of HSP following dental treatment. (C) 2012 Japanese Stomatological Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
