IgA vasculitis (Henoch - Schonlein Purpura) as the first manifestation of juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Case-control study and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We have recognized 15 children with jSLE and the antecedent of IgA vasculitis (HSP). This association is not broadly present in the literature.

Aim

To know the age and gender distribution of children with IgA vasculitis (HSP), compare it to our IgA vasculitis (HSP) + jSLE cases, and identify prognostic factors to develop jSLE within our case series, IgA vasculitis (HSP) vs. IgA vasculitis (HSP) + jSLE.

Methods

A systematic review was carried out to know the age and gender distribution of children with IgA vasculitis (HSP). The information obtained plus data from 110 children with IgA vasculitis (HSP) from the Instituto Nacional de Pediatría were used to compare groups and identify prognostic factors. We performed a case-control study in patients < 18 years,
