Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a clinicopathological syndrome characterized clinically by palpable purpura, arthragias or arthritis, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding and renal involvement. It is a small-vessel vasculitis containing IgA-dominant immune complex deposits. HSP is generally an illness of childhood, although it can occur at any age. Pulmonary involvement is rare, but it does occur.78 Pulmonary complications are haemoptysis and dyspnoea caused by diffuse alveolar haemorrhage or lung infarction.79 Occasionally, pleural effusion and usual interstitial pneumonia are found.80

It is also well known that the 99mTc radioisotope with energy 141 keV of isomeric transition and a half-life of 6 h is widely used in medicine as an effective radiochemical agent for remote medical diagnostics of a number of diseases: brain tumors, lung infarction, the study of the functional state of the thyroid and salivary glands, heart and large vessels, and the skeleton, as well as in the study of central and peripheral hemodynamics (e.g., Ref. 19). The usual method of 99mTc application is the single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
