Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is known to be a systemic vasculitis of small vessels. Although is possible that this condition sets up in any age group, the epidemiological profile of this disease mostly affects the pediatric population between 2 and 10 years of age. In this sense, this descriptive article aims to report the rare case of an adult patient who evolved with IgAV, presented in a cutaneous form, and treated with corticosteroids. For that, after the patient's free and informed consent, the study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Rio Verde (UniRV, Goiás, Brazil), whose Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Consideration is 36621920.0.0000.507. Therefore, it was found that the patient evolved with clinical compatible with IgAV of probable cutaneous involvement due to lesions in the form of purpura and renal involvement, presenting a good therapeutic response with corticosteroid therapy at non-immunosuppressive doses and after 1 year and 3 months of follow-up, there was remission of the clinical picture without new episodes. There are some reports in the literature about the good therapeutic response of this clinical with corticosteroid therapy at non-immunosuppressive doses, however, clinical trials are needed.
