Is Pediatric Allergic Purpura Severe?

Question

Is pediatric allergic purpura severe?

Answer

Pediatric allergic purpura is not necessarily severe, but if not treated promptly or appropriately, it may lead to purpura nephritis. Purpura nephritis is usually more complex, so when treating pediatric allergic purpura, it is crucial to prevent the occurrence of purpura nephritis. This includes identifying allergens and avoiding contact, taking antiallergic medications and hormones, and vitamin C. Daily diet is also very important.
