Abstract
Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a disease of unknown etiology. it is predominantly seen in children, although adults are also affected, and comprises a rash, arthritis, abdominal pain, and renal dysfunction. there is no effective treatment, although the syndrome is self-limiting and generally subsides without sequelae. The authors present a case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in a 59-year-old woman who presented with a rash of six months' duration and a high level of urinary protein.
