title: Ileal stricture as a late complication of Henoch-Schonlein purpura.
abstract: Although Henoch-Schonlein purpura is known for its acute vasculitic manifestations, chronic residual problems, other than nephritis, are uncommon. A case report of late ileal stricture following Henoch-Schonlein purpura is presented, noting associated findings suggestive of a primary enteropathy which delayed timely surgical management.
