Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the rare association between IgA vasculitis (IgAV) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), primarily in patients treated with anti-TNF-α therapy.
- Out of 43 cases analyzed, the majority showed that IBD, particularly Crohn's disease, preceded the onset of IgAV by an average of 9.2 years, with many patients experiencing purpura and joint issues.
- The findings suggest that discontinuing anti-TNF-α can lead to remission of IgAV, but also raises the risk of IBD flare-ups, while continuing treatment may help manage IBD but lead to recurring IgAV symptoms.
