Abstract
IgA vasculitis (IgAV), formerly Henoch–Schönlein purpura, is the most frequent systemic vasculitis of childhood, with an annual incidence of 3 to 27 per 100,000 children.1 Although it can occur at any age, the incidence in adults is very low with over 90% of cases occurring in children. The peak incidence is between the ages of 4 and 6 years.1,2 It has a slight male preponderance. Classic features include palpable purpura, arthralgia, abdominal pain, and renal involvement.1,2 While most cases are self-limited, bullous and necrotic variants are rare and can lead to scarring.3 We present a case of hemorrhagic bullous IgAV temporally associated with dexmethylphenidate use in a pediatric patient with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
