AI Article Synopsis
- A 32-year-old man experienced IgA vasculitis and IgA vasculitis nephritis after his second AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine dose.
- IgAVN is a rare side effect linked to COVID-19 vaccinations, highlighting the importance for healthcare providers to be aware of and manage such cases.
- Despite this risk, the advantages of getting vaccinated, such as reduced severity and death from COVID-19, far surpass the likelihood of experiencing this uncommon adverse effect.
Article Abstract
The article presents a case of a 32-year-old male who developed IgA vasculitis (IgAV) and IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) after receiving the second dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. IgAVN can be a rare side effect of COVID-19 vaccines. Healthcare providers should be aware of this potential adverse event, and promptly recognize and manage it. However, the benefits of vaccination in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 far outweigh the risks of this rare adverse event.

Background: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) is a common systemic vasculitis in children that often involves the gastrointestinal system (GIS). Identifying reliable predictive markers for GIS complications is crucial for early intervention and improved patient outcomes.
Objective: This study aims to identify laboratory markers predictive of GIS complications in children with HSP using a machine learning approach.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis (IgAV), classically known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), is a type of nonthrombocytopenic small-vessel vasculitis. HSP is the most frequent kind of systemic vasculitis in children, characterized by purpura, arthritis or arthralgia, gastrointestinal pain, and kidney dysfunction. The aim of our research was to investigate and observe the clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with HSP and to explore the correlation between infectious diseases and HSP.

Objective: To explore the influence of respiratory infections on the onset of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) in children, along with exploring potential underlying mechanisms.
Method: The present study conducted a statistical analysis on renal involvement indicators in 296 children with HSP who came to the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University, as well as the IgA levels in 400 children with respiratory infections and 400 children with HSP.
Results: Compared with the control group, children with HSP exhibited a significant increase in urine red blood cell count, urine microalbuminuria, and urine protein/creatinine ratio (P < 0.

Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP), or IgA vasculitis, is a systemic inflammatory disorder primarily affecting children. While common symptoms include purpura, abdominal pain, and arthritis, testicular involvement is rare. We report a case of a young boy presenting with severe scrotal pain and swelling, later identified as epididymo-orchitis secondary to HSP.
