Presentation of a Patient with palpable purpuric rash

Henoch Shonlein purpura (HSP) is a form of systemic vasculitis characterized by deposition of IgA dominant immune complexes in the small vessels. The triad of palpable purpuric rash on lower extremities, abdominal or renal involvement and arthritis is the typical presentation in this condition. The disease primarily affects children and is less common in adults. We report a case of a young female who presented with classical symptoms of HSP i.e. palpable purpura on legs, arthritis and off and on abdominal pain.
