(1) Background: This study investigated the epidemiology and viral connections of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) using information from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and the Health Insurance Review and Assessment database. (2) Method: Between 2016 and 2019, a total of 25,443 patients with HSP were identified, with 51.3% of patients under the age of 20 years and the highest incidence in March. (3) Results: The autoregressive integrated moving average model and Granger causality test were used to analyze the association between the virus positivity detection rate and HSP incidence. (4) Conclusions: The incidence of HSP was associated with rotavirus, bocavirus, parainfluenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus in individuals under 20 years of age, whereas adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and norovirus were associated with individuals above that age.
