title: Haemorrhagic bullous lesions in a 3-year-old girl with Henoch-Schölein purpura.
abstract: Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis in children and is characterized by cutaneous purpura, arthritis, abdominal pain and nephritis. We report a case involving a 3-year-old girl with HSP who displayed rapidly evolving haemorrhagic bullae from primary purpuric lesions during systemic corticosteroid therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The bullae disappeared within 7 days of systemic corticosteroid therapy, although some scarring of the skin occurred. Also, bullae should not be considered as a poor prognostic factor of renal outcome in HSP.
