AB  - Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) or IgA vasculitis is a small-vessel vasculitis 
      mediated by IgA deposition, often associated with upper respiratory tract 
      infection and family history. However, there is a rare correlation to human 
      leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 arthropathy. We present a case of a young boy 
      diagnosed with HSP suffering from arthritis, gait disturbance, and weakness 
      throughout childhood, ultimately diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and 
      sacroiliitis clinically, with confirmation through X-ray and supporting HLA B27 
      testing.
