[Malabsorption syndrome during the initial phase of a case of severe rheumatoid purpura].
We report a case of severe Henoch syndrome in which the first manifestation was digestive with a prolonged and important intestinal malabsorption syndrome. The clinical, radiological and histological data allow to consider a malabsorption due to lesions of the chorion and submucosa probably secondary to the allergic vasculitis. The malabsorption syndrome, confirmed by the intestinal absorption tests, the study of which must be more systematic, seems to belong to the severe and polyvisceral forms of the Schönlein-Henoch syndrome.
