Abstract
- Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy is a cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which is clinically characterized by acute development of peripheral edema and targetoid purpuric lesions on the face and extremities. The clinical picture has a violent onset with a short benign course, followed by spontaneous complete recovery. We describe a 7-month-old girl with acute hemorrhagic edema, in whom the disease occurred with otitis media.
