Haemorrhagic vasculitis, known as Schönlein-Genoch purpura, and also known as capillary toxicity, IgA-associated vasculitis, belongs to the group of primary systemic vasculitis, which is characterised by the involvement of mainly small-calibre vessels. [1] The etiological factors are diverse and not fully understood, but exposure to allergens, infectious factors, hypothermia, and trauma play a crucial role in its development. According to the results of current studies, the epidemiology of this disease varies considerably both geographically and climatically and has differences depending on age and gender. [4,5,6] The purpose of the study is to investigate the etiological features of the course and prevalence of Shenehlein-Genoch vasculitis based on a review of scientific and current literature. The information was collected in Google Scolar, PubMed, Google Academy for the period 2015-2024. [8,9,10] In Ukraine, this disease occurs with a frequency of 10-20 cases per 100,000 children, and in recent years, according to statistics, there has been a slight upward trend. [1]
