Anaphylactoid purpura: hypertension with minimal urinary abnormalities.
We wish to draw attention to a case of hypertension in a child with anaphylactoid purpura, but with minimal urinary findings. Early recognition and effective antihypertensive therapy for short periods of time prevent potential complications. The wide spectrum of presentations, the epidemiological features, the diagnostic work-up and the role of the primary care physician are also reviewed.
