This increases the permeability and fragility of small arteries and capillaries, accompanied by exudative skin rashes and edema. The clinical manifestations primarily include skin purpura, with mucosal rashes possibly also occurring, as well as joint pain, abdominal pain, and kidney damage. Allergic purpura is more common in children and adolescents, with a higher prevalence in males than females, and is more frequently observed during spring and autumn.
