I’m an adult (40) who had HSP 6 months ago; it went away any never came back. My doctor ses to think I was allergic to an antibiotic (ciproflaxin?) that I was taking for a chest cold. The HSP didn’t occur until I took that medicine.
My question is, will I have a recurrence if I get another cold? or should I be ok as long as I stay away from that family of antibiotics? I’ve had every blood test under the sun for the past 6 months and I was told my blood is “stable” and within normal range. I’m scard to get a cold thinking that this will be the norm every time.

My 8 year old daughter got HSP August 2012. She has already went into complete renal failure. She is on dialysis 3 times a week which they started a week ago. The doctors say she is not a candidate for a transplant until the HSP stops. Be honest with me pleader.. what are her chances is surviving this.

hey elise! when it comes to long term problems from HSP, the big one we know about is kidney problems. As I said in the article, somewhere between 25%-50% or so of the people with HSP have kidney problems in the short term. Of these, most do not have long term problems, but some do, years later as an adult, even after having recovered fully in between. Apart from kidney problems, though, I’m not aware of other proven internal issues later as an adult. All my best in sorting out what is going on!
