Abstract

Objectives: Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is characterized by non-thrombocytopenic palpable purpura, abdominal pain, and arthralgia/arthritis. We aimed to describe the clinical presentations of children with HSP in a single center and compare the prevalence of each manifestations between patients with MEFV variants, particularly in exon 10 and those without.
