Abstract
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is an uncommon autoimmune vasculitis that primarily affects the skin, kidneys, and joints. It is characterized by leukocytoclastic vasculopathy, often involving the skin and gastrointestinal system. Here we report the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with a history of abdominal pain for 8 days and 7 days of vomiting, followed by the development of purpuric rashes on her legs and hands. After comprehensive investigations, the patient was diagnosed with HSP based on characteristics of Schonlein, which includes the presence of purpuric rash, arthritis, and abdominal pain. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to healthcare, which can aid in effective management and reduce the risk of complications associated with HSP.
