A member asked:
I was diagnosed with henoch schonlein purpura even though 3 biopsies didn't immunofluoresce. is it possible i was diagnosed wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In the absence of demonstrated IgA vasculitis in at least one section, i would have misgivings about the accuracy of your diagnosis. However, pathologists who seldom do immunofluorescence in their labs may run into technical problems that interfere. It's a tough call and this is one more reason you need a multispecialist team.
