Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Henoch Schonlein purpura (HSP) is characterized by leukocytoclastic vasculitis involving the small vessels with deposition of immune complexes that contain IgA. Clinical signs include purpura , arthralgia, glomerulonephritis and gastrointestinal involvement. HSP occurs primarily in children. It is uncommon in people over 40 yrs. Adult onset HSP with nervous system involvement is still uncommon but clinically relevant. We present a case of 40 yr old male with adult onset HSP with neurological involvement in the form of left radial mononeuropathy.
