Recurrent anterior uveitis in Henoch Schonlein's vasculitis.
Uveitis is an important component of many rheumatic diseases. The main causes of recurrent uveitis are seronegative spondylarthropathies and Behçet's disease. We describe a rare case of Henoch Schönlein vasculitis (HSV) along with multiple recurrences of acute anterior uveitis. In cases of skin rash and recurrent anterior uveitis, HSV should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
