An unusual case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura

Abstract

Vasculitis has protean manifestations with etiological non-specificity of histological lesions. The natural history of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in adults is less well established. We report an adult female patient who presented with palpable skin purpura and was evaluated to have IgA nephritis who remains stable on treatment with cyclophosphamide and steroids.
