title: The site of protein loss in Schönlein-Henoch purpura.
abstract: Schönlein-Henoch purpura may be complicated by hypoproteinaemia, which in most patients is due to the development of nephrotic syndrome. However, in some proteinuria is insignificant and enteric protein loss has been suggested as the cause. A case with supportive evidence for this is reported.
