An 8-year-old boy developed a skin rash, gastrointestinal symptoms, and acute glomerulonephritis with immunopathological findings characteristic of Henoch-Schönlein purpura. After renal transplantation the skin rash, gastrointestinal symptoms, and glomerulonephritis recurred. The similarity between the immunopathological changes found in the host's kidneys and those observed in the graft are consistent with the interpretation of a transmission of Henoch-Schönlein purpura to the renal transplant.
