It commonly presents with a triad of purpuric rash, arthralgia, and abdominal pain. However, dermatologic manifestations of IgA vasculitis in black-skinned individuals are poorly documented in literature.  \nCASE SUMMARY  \nThis case report describes an 11-year-old black girl with acute onset of rash, joint pain, and abdominal pain, subsequently diagnosed with IgA vasculitis.  \nCONCLUSION  \nThe case highlights the importance of early recognition and supportive management in ensuring a favorable outcome, particularly in dark-skinned populations.  \nKey Words: Immunoglobulin A vasculitis; Henoch-Schönlein purpura; Pediatric vasculitis; Purpura; Arthralgia; Abdominal pain; Black-skinned; Dermatologic findings; Case report  \n©The Author(s) 2025.

IgA vasculitis in a black child  \nCore Tip: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis, rare in black children, can be missed when classic purpura is subtle on dark skin. Early triad recognition—palpable rash, arthralgia, abdominal pain—and prompt supportive care secure rapid recovery. This case describes an 11-year-old Black girl with classic systemic features—palpable purpura, abdominal pain, and arthritis—but with atypical dermatologic presentation due to skin pigmentation. The report underscores the diagnostic challenges of identifying vasculitic rashes in darker skin and highlights the need for inclusive dermatologic education and region-specific research on IgA vasculitis presentation and outcomes in African children.  \nCitation: Nurani KM, Natalia G, Kadernani N, Kadernani K.
