The Therapeutic Value and Mechanism of Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 in Children With Henoch-schönlein Purpura

The Therapeutic Value and Mechanism of Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 in Children With Henoch-schönlein Purpura

The study aims to explore the therapeutic value and mechanism of Interleukin-2 on children with Henoch-schönlein purpura.

The investigators designed a single center, open-label, prospective study that routinely administered low-dose IL-2 therapy to monitor the improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters to explore its efficacy and to observe changes in immune cell subsets and cytokines.For all patients,rhIL-2(500,000 unit per square meter) infusions seven days;recurrent patients were applied again for 7 days;patients who were diagnosed HSPN were treated on a routine basis for 7 consecutive days, and then once every two week for 3months.
