Background: Henoch-Schönlein purpura is the most common vasculitis of small blood vessels in children. The diagnosis of the disease is confirmed in a patient with a specific rash, joint inflamation, abdominal pain or renal disease. The specific rash is necesary for the confirmation of the diagnosis. Henoch-Schönlein purpura can rarely present with a complication withot a prior presentation of the rash. In these cases diagnosis is difficult until the presentation of the specific skin manifestation. In the majority of patients the disease course is not complicated and has a good prognosis.Conclusion: In this article we present three patients with an atypical presentation of the disease and a review of current literature on the topic.

Abstract Vasculitis is a challenging disease for paediatricians. Certain vasculitides are quite common in children whereas others are much rarer compared with adults. The most common vasculitides in childhood are IgA-associated vasculitis (Henoch–Schönlein purpura) and Kawasaki disease, which are usually self-limiting vasculitides although children do develop complications as a result. We now have much better knowledge of how to manage these patients and prevent the deleterious complications. This review provides an up-to-date discussion on childhood vasculitides, including diagnosis, treatment and follow-up strategies, together with a comparison with vasculitides in adults. It also discusses the newly defined monogenic vasculitides that often present during early childhood.
