Henoch-Sch önlein purpura in the setting of COVID-19 infection: Two pediatrics cases and review of the literature

We report two children with HSP associated with acute COVID-19 infection with a review of the available literature. We highlight the clinical presentation, medical management, outcome and age-related difference of reported patients. A limitation of this article is the retrospective nature, limiting full patient history and associated conditions. The findings of this review show that HSP in the setting of COVID-19 is more common in children than adults, with a male predominance, involving various body systems creating a constellation of presentations. Given that HSP can have long-term morbidity from renal disease if untreated, this review may help guide the practitioner's approach to HSP and recognition in the setting of COVID-19 infection.PMID:38024921 | PMC:PMC10657077 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_26_23
