A Case of Infantile Acute hemorrhagic Edema
Abstract
- Infantile acute hemorrhagic edema is a benign disease followed by a spontaneous eomplete recovery without sequelae, characterized by cockade purpura and inflamrntory edema on the face and extremities without any internal origin involvement in 4-month to 2-year-old infants. We report a case of infaniile acute hemorrhagic edema which occared in a 2-year-old female after an upper respiratory illness and compare the clinical and histologic features of this disorder with Henoch-Schonlein purpura.
