Recognizing Henoch-Schonlein Purpura

Henoch-Schonlein Purpura is a common vasculitis in childhood, typically affecting children between two and 11 years old, with a peak incidence around 46 years of age. Symptoms include viral URI, belly pain, and a classic rash called palpable purpura on the back of the thighs and legs. This condition is associated with IGA-mediated vasculitis and complications like intussusception and nephropathy.
