IgA Vasculitis Associated With COVID-19

Abstract

IgA vasculitis, also known as Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP), is an inflammatory disorder of small blood vessels that can present with palpable purpura, arthralgias, abdominal pain, and kidney disease. It is most commonly found in pediatric patients after an inciting infection but has been seen across all ages and associated with certain drugs and vaccines. COVID-19 has been associated with various cutaneous manifestations, but HSP is a rarely reported one. We present a case of a 21-year-old female presenting with a petechial rash found to be seronegative IgA vasculitis presenting concurrently with dyspnea secondary to COVID-19. She was initially seen by an outside practitioner, tested negative for COVID, and was prescribed a course of oral prednisone. Shortly thereafter, she visited the ED for worsening shortness of breath and tested positive for COVID-19, for which she received Paxlovid. Biopsy after a visit to a dermatologist confirmed intramural IgA deposition on immunofluorescence, and she was tapered off prednisone and started on azathioprine.
