Henoch-Schönlein purpura in a child following varicella.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is one of the most common vasculitis of childhood. It is characterized by nonthrombocytopenic palpable purpura, arthritis, renal and gastrointestinal system (GIS) involvement. HSP is usually triggered by an antigenic stimulus including infectious agents, drugs, cold, insect bite or food. HSP is rarely triggered by Varicella zoster infection. We herein presented a case with HSP following varicella.
