  • Title: Henoch-Schönlein purpura presenting with anuria in an adult.
    Author: Weiser JA, Rogers HD, Stokes MB, Grossman ME.
    Journal: Cutis; 2010 Oct; 86(4):181-4. PubMed ID: 21140925.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is an immune complex-mediated systemic small vessel vasculitis that is most commonly described in children but may affect patients of any age. Our patient, a 91-year-old man, presented with anuria caused by IgA-mediated nephropathy; he later developed cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis, thereby meeting the criteria for a diagnosis of HSP. This case is unique because of the patient's initial presentation with anuria, the possible underlying malignancy associated with his HSP, and his advanced age.
