Abstract
IgA vasculitis is a leukocytoclastic vasculitis, with a self-limited course, of autoimmune origin, mediated by IgA immune complexes. The ethiology of this disease is unknown, but the most common presentation is a paediatric patient that has been exposed to an infectious agent like streptoccocus sp. or respiratory virus with posterior development of signs and symptoms that suggests the present of the disease.The main clinical manifestations seen in this pathology are papules that develops into purpuric lesions localized in limbs, buttocks and arms, abdominal pain, joint pain and hematuria. IgA vasculitis doesn't have any specific treatment. The use of corticoesteroids has been discussed but no results have been conclusive.
