We report a case of ten year old male child of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) who presented initially with predominant hemorrhagic bullae in extremities. Initial presentation with bullae is rare in HSP. The child recovered within two weeks with a course of systemic and topical steroid without any sequel.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a vasculitis of small-sized blood vessels, resulting from immunoglobulin-A-mediated inflammation. It is the most common acute systemic vasculitis in childhood and mainly affects skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints, and kidneys. The characteristic rash of HSP consists of palpable purpuric lesions 2 to 10 mm in diameter concentrating in the buttocks and lower extremities. The occurrence of hemorrhagic bullae in children with HSP is rarely encountered. This report describes a 4.5-year-old female patient with HSP associated with hemorrhagic bullous lesions.

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a relatively common pediatric vasculitis. Very few cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura during pregnancy have been described. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is variable in its presentation, from completely benign to possibly catastrophic complications. This rarely encountered condition in adults can also be a recurrence of a previous childhood disease. We present a case of a pregnant 40-year-old woman with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, resulting in a viable birth with no fetal complications. Her presentation is discussed in detail and a general presentation of Henoch-Schonlein purpura is explored, with particular attention to its rare onset during pregnancy.

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is the most common form of cutaneous vasculitis. It is a neutrophilic small vessel vasculitis resulting from the deposition of circulating immune complexes. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic type of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, characterized by immunoglobulin A-mediated blood vessel injury. We present a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura in an adult female manifesting with a vasculitic rash with Koebner phenomenon.
