[Henoch-Schoentein syndrome following duodenitis with severe denutrition from distal ileum lesions. One case (author's transl)].

A case of Henoch-Schoenlein syndrome in an 8-year old child is described. The cutaneous symptoms appeared 10 days after duodenitis with ulceration of the duodenal bulb. Severe denutrition resulting from lesions of the distal ileum total required parenteral nutrition for 38 days. The anatomo-radiological signs of gastrointestinal manifestations of the syndrome are discussed.
