Abstract

Henoch-Schoenlein Purpura (PSH) is the most frequent vasculitis in childhood. Skin, bowel and joints are characteristically involved. Although renal manifestations are common PSH-nephritis is infrequent but characterized by a poor prognosis. In autumn 2005 diagnosis and treatment were discussed at the 8th consensus meeting in Wörlitz. These results are summarized.
