%X Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a relatively common pediatric vasculitis. Very few cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura during pregnancy have been described. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is variable in its presentation, from completely benign to possibly catastrophic complications. This rarely encountered condition in adults can also be a recurrence of a previous childhood disease. We present a case of a pregnant 40-year-old woman with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, resulting in a viable birth with no fetal complications. Her presentation is discussed in detail and a general presentation of Henoch-Schonlein purpura is explored, with particular attention to its rare onset during pregnancy
