title: [Possible correlations of Berger's disease and Schonlein-Henoch purpura].
abstract: A case of IgA nephropathy is described. The patient had only an attack of Henoch-Schonlein purpura without renal involvement when she was 7 years old. After 6 years of normal urinalysis she developed repeated bouts of gross hematuria and proteinuria. In renal biopsy typical features of Berger's disease were found. This particular case permits to debate whether the two diseases suffered by our patient were related or quite different.
