An update on Henoch-Schonlein Purpura in children
Omer A Ahmed
American Hospital Dubai, UAE
H
SP (Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis- IgAV) is the most common form of systemic vasculitis in children. Although in the
great majority of cases HSP is self-limited, the symptoms and signs it bears are very scary for parents and families.
The lecture would start by presenting general classification/Incidence of Vasculitis in children to be followed by the clinical
manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of HSP. General careful evaluation of Purpuras in children
is extremely important for early diagnosis and treatment. The Differential diagnoses are presented. Complications of HSP are
outlined in the lecture. HSP management outline guidance including renal involvement are briefly presented including some
controversies along this line.
