Coronary Artery Thickening with Mucosal Lesions in Henoch‐Schönlein Purpura

Abstract:  Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood. It is usually self‐limiting and is characterized by an immune complex–mediated vasculitis associated with IgA deposition. We present an unusual case of HSP with mucosal lesions and coronary artery thickening.
