Henoch Schonlein Purpura
What are the symptoms?
HSP is usually preceded by an infection, often a viral respiratory tract infection, leading on to the many manifestation of this vasculitis: painful, occasionally swollen joints; red/purple skin rash which fails to blanch with pressure (purpura); abdominal pain and kidney inflammation. Generalised abdominal pain may be caused by inflammation and swelling of the wall of the intestines or, more rarely, by a twisting inversion of the lining of the bowel termed acute intussusception.
