A child is described who developed acute ischaemic necrosis of the oesophagus complicating an otherwise typical case of anaphylactoid purpura. This episode was preceded by a necrotising ileitis requiring intestinal resection and ileostomy. The histological similarities of the lesions in the oesophagus and the ileum suggest a common cause connected with the anaphylactoid purpura.
