[Purpura Schoenlein-Henoch: results of the Wörlitz 2005 Consensus Conference focusing on diagnosis and therapy].

Although renal manifestations are common PSH-nephritis is infrequent but characterized by a poor prognosis. In autumn 2005 diagnosis and treatment were discussed at the 8th consensus meeting in Wörlitz. These results are summarized.
