Abstract
Severe gastrointestinal manifestations and rashes of Henoch Schonlein Purpura (HSP) may not always respond to prednisolone or other immunosuppressive agent. Though reduced factor XIII may play a role in gastrointestinal manifestations but its role in management of skin rashes is uncertain. Here, we reported a case treated with different immunosuppressive agents but didn`t respond. Thereafter, despite having the normal factor XIII assay, the unremitting GI symptoms and skin rashes, has improved after prescribing colchicines & infusion of Cryoprecipitate containing factor XIII.
