Abstract:

Acute infantile hemorrhagic edema: Case Report Acute infantile hemorrhagic edema is a rare benign leukcytoclastic vasculitis of childhood, usually seen under 2 years old, characterized by fever and purpuric rashes on face, ears and extremities. Most of the cases resolve spontaneously without any sequel. Cases of life-threatening and requiring emerging and intensive care, especially purpura fulminans and meningococcemia, should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We described here a 16-month old boy with acute infantile hemorrhagic edema. Acute infantile hemorrhagic obesity is a rare benign leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the skin, which is commonly seen in children under two years of age and clinically characterized by fever, purple eruption in the skin, obesity in the face, ears and limbs. The majority of the cases are healed spontaneously without leaving the seed. The distinctive diagnosis should take into account diseases that are life-threatening, such as purpura fulminance and meningocosemia, and which require an urgent and intense treatment approach. This article presents an acute infantile hemorrhagic swelling in a 16-month boy.
