Henoch Schoenlein Purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood, which involves small vessels most frequently in the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, the kidney, and the joints. Palpable non-thrombocytopenic purpura is the essential element in the diagnosis of HSP. We report on a child presenting with unusual cutaneous lesions and high fever. Main differential diagnosis and peculiar presentations of the disease are discussed.

Henoch Schoenlein Purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood, which involves small vessels most frequently in the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, the kidney, and the joints. Palpable non-thrombocytopenic purpura is the essential element in the diagnosis of HSP. We report on a child presenting with unusual cutaneous lesions and high fever.
