Abstract
In 1948 Gairdner firstly defined the linkage of Schoenlein-Henoch purpura (HSP) vasculitis with rheumatic fever (1). Since the first report of that association, only a few cases of HSP with acute rheumatic fever have been reported (2-5). In this article, we present a patient admitted to our clinic with clinical picture of HSP vasculitis, who developed acute rheumatic carditis thereafter.
