After extensive clinical investigation, an ileal bleeding si te was identified and surgically removed. Pathological examination of the diseased bowel segment revealed an extensive vasculitis with mucos al ulceration attributable to Henoch-Schonlein purpura as well as flor id cytomegalovirus infection.
