CAUSES Viral and bacterial infections, such as strep throat and parvovirus infection — nearly half the children with Henoch- Schonlein purpura develop the disease after an upper respiratory infection Certain medicines - antibiotics and antihistamines Insect bites HEPATITIS B & C Some vaccinations - measles, typhoid, yellow fever and cholera, varicella, Hep B Cold weather Certain chemicals

SYMPTOMS Rashes and bruising. 100% Legs, buttocks, Rarely, the rash may spread to the upper part of the body, but it is usually on the parts of the body that “hang down,” like the legs, buttocks, elbows, and even earlobes. Abdominal pain. 80% two-thirds of people with HSP experience pain in the stomach that may cause vomiting or blood in the stool. Intussuseption in children Arthritis. 80 percent have pain and swelling in the knees and ankles, less frequently in the elbows and wrists. NO residual effects Kidney involvement. Hematuria & PROTEINURIA - 40 % Mostly no residual damage May progress to Ig A Nephropathy

Three days after admission, he presented a palpable purpuric rash on the declivous regions, arthralgia and abdominal pain. He met all criteria set by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) for Henoch Schonlein purpura. The evolution was gradually favorable with no renal involvement (recoil of 3 years and half). CONCLUSION: Henoch Schonlein purpura is an exceptional extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis A infection. PMID: 15475276 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

CONCLUSION MOSTLY FOLLOWS URI/LRI OUR CASE FOLLOWED HEPATITIS A MOSTLY SELF LIMITING MAY HAVE LONG TERM EFFECTS ON KIDNEYS TREATMENT WITH STEROIDS WILL PREVENT THIS FOLLOW UP WITH URINE ANALYSIS UP TO 6 MONTHS
