What Causes Back Pain And Henoch–Schönlein_purpura?
My 5 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Henoch Shonlein Purpura a few days ago. Today she was experiencing extremely bad back pain. Her urine showed lymphocytes and has been sent to pathology for further testing. Is it likely to be a kidney infection. Thanks

Hi...sterile pyuria is very common in HSP. It might not be a kidney related infection without high grade fever with chills and rigors.
I suggest you get a renal function test done on her.
