Abstract

We report the case of a 68-year-old male who presented with necrotic purpura a few days following a tick bite. He was diagnosed with Henoch-Schönlein purpura. The clinical course was favorable after treatment with corticosteroids. This observation suggests that tick bites may act as a trigger for Henoch-Schönlein purpura. In cases of purpura occurring after a tick bite, it is crucial to perform biopsies in addition to testing for tick-borne diseases to ensure that vasculitis is not overlooked.
