Abstract
Schönlein-Henoch purpura is a non-thrombocytopenic systemic vasculitis of small-caliber vessels due to immune complexes. We report the case of an adult 30 year old man admitted for a generalized edematous syndrome with purpuric lesions in the 2 lower limbs revealing a dilated cardiomyopathy whose etiological assessment was in favor of a Schönlein-Henoch purpura with cardiac, renal, dermatological involvement. The diagnosis was difficult to establish given the clinical polymorphism. Also, management was complicated given the multifocal involvement. The treatment was based on corticosteroid therapy and rituximab but the evolution was, unfortunately, not satisfactory.
