Abstract

We experienced an interesting case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura associated with scarlet fever in a 10-year-old girl. Typical two rashes representing Henoch-Schönlein purpura and scarlet fever appeared simultaneously. Fine erythematous maculopapular eruptions (goose-skin appearance) and straw-berry tongue, characteristic of scarlet fever, were present above the pelvis with varing sized purpuras, characteristic of Henoch-Schönlein purpura, below the pelvis.
