[Schönlein-Henoch syndrome: review of a series of 142 cases].
Clinical and laboratory findings in 142 children with Schönlein-Henoch syndrome are studied. The children were diagnosed during a ten-year period (1974-1984). Purpura, as more significant clinical finding, was observed in all patients, followed by articular signs (61.2%), abdominal complaints (57.7%), renal signs (30.2%) and testicular (4.2%). IgA, IgG, IgM, complement and cryoglobulin alterations, are remarkable factors to assume an immunologic origin for the syndrome.
