Henoch‐Schonlein purpura is a syndrome characterized by nonthrombocytopenic purpura accompanied by arthralgia, gastrointestinal symptoms, or renal involvement. We report a 5.5‐year‐old boy with high fever and hemorrhagic vesicles and bullae varying in size from 2 to 50 mm in diameter, on both pinnas, the hard palate, gums, dorsa of the hands, buttocks, and both legs, and review the pertinent literature.
