Aspect particular al purpurei Henoch-Schönlein la copil – prezentare de caz

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a leukocytoclastic vasculitis characterized by angeitis of small vessels induced by an IgA-mediated immune mechanism, which has predominantly cutaneous, articular and gastrointestinal clinical mani­fes­tations, with or without renal impairment. The authors pre­sent the case of a teenager with particular skin ma­ni­fes­ta­tions (purpuro-necrotic and petechial lesions), but also with joint involvement. The differential diagnosis was complex and the evolution was favorable under local and systemic treatment. On the long term, kidney involvement affects the prognosis of the disease.
