Schonlein-Henoch purpura is the most common infantile vasculitis and is mostly clinically diagnosed. A retrospective descriptive study of patients with Scholein-Henoch purpura diagnosis was conducted for 4 years. The source of information was medical records and a data gathering guide containing the studied variables was used. The behaviour of this disease according to clinical and therapeutic variables was described. The disease was often seen in 5-9 years-old group. Fifty percent of patients suffered viral infections before the onset of disease. The majority of them presented with classical triade of rash, abdominal pain and arthritis. Of the total number, 95,3% of cases recovered satisfactorily with symptomatic treatment.
