Scientists probe immune system for clues to mysterious childhood rash disease

NCT ID NCT02317133

Summary

This study aimed to understand the underlying causes of Henoch Schönlein Purpura (HSP), a disease causing skin rash and other symptoms in children. Researchers compared blood samples from 100 children—some with active HSP, some in remission, and some healthy—to see if specific immune cells called regulatory T cells are different in kids with the disease. The goal was to gather knowledge about how HSP develops, not to test a new treatment.
