https://patient.info/forums/discuss/does-hsp-ever-really-go-away--638029

My daughter is suffering with this disease. It happened four months from now when she suffered with Diarrhea. She got hospitalized and Diarrhea was treated well. But know one knew that it developed into UTI.

Urinary Track Infection disturbed immune system and as a result HSP emerged.

We wasted a month time to figure out that the disease is HSP while we were under impression that she is suffering from UTI and is the only cause which was being treated with antibiotics.

When we changed our medical consultant, we heard HSP for the first time which has no direct treatment. However all Lab tests were clear with Kidney ultrasound.

When Urine Culture report examined by consultant, he advised right antibiotic which could bring UT Infection down. After having full course of intravenous antibiotic her HSP start to retreat and she came back to normal condition. Upon Lab tests, blood reports were fine.

After 22 days were passed, HSP emerged again with same symptoms and become intense within 2 days. We consulted same doctor who himself was surprised and asked to Lab test again. However, this time he recommended Oral medicine dosage which were followed accordingly. within next two days HSP started to retreat and symptoms start vanishing.

Now Antibiotic course is underway for next 7 days.

So by now, conclusion in our case is the bacterial infection which has to be killed fully in order to avoid HSP.

We are hoping for the best.
