摘要
The appearance of nonthrombocytic purpura is an important Clue for the diagnosis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). However, this classic skin lesion may be preceded by other symptoms Such as abdominal pain and arthralgia, and the diagnosis may be delayed. Facial edema as a manifestation of HSP is typically observed in children younger than 2 years. We report a 5-year-old boy with facial edema at presentation: until 3 days later. the boy returned because of abdominal complication (intussusception) and developed purpura, the diagnosis of HSP was established.
