Eduard Heinrich Henoch

Eduard Heinrich Henoch (June 16, 1820 Berlin – August 26, 1910) was a German physician.

Henoch was of Jewish descent, and was the nephew of Moritz Heinrich Romberg.

In 1893 he resigned that position, received the title of Medicinalrath, and lived in retirement at Meran until 1898, when he removed to Dresden.

In 1868 he described the association of colic, bloody diarrhea, painful joints, and rash in the condition, previously described by his former medical school teacher Johann Lukas Schönlein, of the allergic non-thrombopenic purpural rash that became known as Henoch–Schönlein purpura, though now known as IgA vasculitis.
