A retrospective study was carried out on 40 children from Saudi Arabia with Henoch-Schönlein syndrome to delineate its clinical pattern. More than 50 per cent of the cases occurred in winter. There was no apparent causal relationship with B-haemolytic streptococcal infection. All patients had skin rash. Fiftyeight per cent had gastrointestinal manifestations, 58 per cent had joint manifestations and 38 per cent had renal manifestations. The main clinical features of Henoch-Schönlein syndrome in Saudi children are comparable to those reported elsewhere.
