Initial Assessment Primary Impression  Henoch Schonlein Purpura Differentials  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus  Wegener’s granulomatosis

DifferentialsRule InRule Out Henoch-Schönlein Purpura The American College of Rheumatology 1990 criteria for the classification of HSP aimed to identify diagnostic criteria to differentiate HSP from other vasculitic diseases: The four criteria identified, of which two are necessary to make the diagnosis, are:  age < 20 years at onset  palpable purpura  “bowel angina” (diffuse or colicky abdominal pain or bowel ischaemia usually with bloody diarrhoea)  biopsy evidence of granulocytes in the walls of arterioles or venules Hallmark of the disease: pinkish maculopapular rash that turns into a palpable purpura and petechiae Presence of joint pain in the ankle Systemic Lupus Erythematosus The triad of fever, joint pain, and rash in suggest the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These three symptoms are the usual or common manifestations of patients with SLE. However, a person can be diagnosed with SLE if any 4 or more of the 11 criteria of the diagnostic criteria for SLE are present, serially or simultaneously, during any interval of observation. - American College of Rheumatology Wegener’s granulomatosis Presence of nonspecific constitutional symptoms such as fever and arthralgia Cutaneous lesions include palpable purpura and cough may be a symptom present later on The frequency of different system involvement is respiratory tract in 87% of cases, kidneys in 53%, joints in 53%, eyes in 53%, skin in 53%, sinuses 35%, and nervous system in 12%.
