Abstract

IgA vasculitis or Henoch Schonlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis related to IgA immune complex deposits in small vessels and glomeruli. It mainly affects the child and is characterized by the association of cutaneous purpura and joint, digestive and/or more rarely renal involvement. The treatment is symptomatic apart from the severe digestive and renal impairments for which corticosteroids could be considered. Usually, its prognosis is good in the absence of digestive or renal complications.
