Applicability of the 2006 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria for the classification of Henoch-Schonlein purpura. An analysis based on 766 patients with cutaneous vasculitis

摘要

Objective. In 2006 the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) proposed new classification criteria for Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). We aimed to establish the applicability of these criteria in patients with primary cutaneous vasculitis (CV). We also compared these criteria with previously established classification criteria for HSP.
