Popis: We review the cases of 148 children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura diagnosed in a period of seventeen years (from 1975 to 1992). Thirteen cases (8.7%) of unusual clinical manifestations were found: testicular affection in six cases (7.6% of the males); IgA nephropathy in four (2.7%); exudative enteropathy in two (1.3%); duodenal syndrome in two; previous abdominal manifestation which led to surgical procedures in one (0.7%) and another case with detachment of the retina. These clinical findings are analyzed and the possibility of unnecessary therapeutic acts is discussed.
