Abstract
Vasculitides are a group of diseases characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels and can affect any type of blood vessel in the body. Schönlein-Henoch purpura is a type of vasculitis secondary to hypersensitivity that affects the small blood vessels. Due to the rarity of this association, we present the case of a male patient with cutaneous purpura and intestinal involvement.
