He had been diagnosed with IgA vasculitis 8 months previously. IgA vasculitis is an autoimmune condition characterised by palpable purpura affecting the lower limbs, abdominal pain, arthralgia and renal disease. He was diagnosed with an acute exacerbation of IgA vasculitis and was discharged with oral prednisolone. Reactivation or first presentation of IgA vasculitis is a rare but increasingly recognised complication of COVID-19 vaccination. This is an important new differential in the assessment of patients with haematuria following COVID-19 vaccination.}, URL = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/14/11/e247188}, eprint = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/14/11/e247188.full.pdf}, journal = {BMJ Case Reports CP} }
