A review of 76 Southampton children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura has confirmed that there is no evidence of a streptococcal aetiology in the majority of cases of this disease. Among these patients the frequency of preceding respiratory infection of all kinds was only 7 percent greater than that in controls. Data on month of admission in four areas of England and Scotland show that the incidence of the disease is lowest in the June-August period. Contrary to previous findings there is no marked peak of incidence in any single month.
对76名南安普敦患有过敏性紫癜的儿童进行的一项回顾证实，在这种疾病的大多数病例中，没有证据表明病因是链球菌。在这些患者中，各类先前呼吸道感染的发生率仅比对照组高7%。英格兰和苏格兰四个地区的入院月份数据显示，该病的发病率在6月至8月期间最低。与之前的研究结果相反，发病率在任何一个月都没有明显的高峰。
