    AbstractSchoenlein-Henoch purpura is a rare disease in adults clinically characterized by palpable purpura, mainly on the legs, with varying degrees of gastrointestinal, articular and renal involvement. This syndrome is also characterized by IgA-vasculitis and its pathogenesis is still unclear, although it appears frequently after a viral or bacterial infection especially in the ORL sphere. We report here the cases of three adult patients who developed Schoenlein-Henoch purpura shortly after a bacterial infection of the skin, notably by Staphylococcus aureus.
