Abstract
Acute infantile hemorrhagic edema is an acute cutaneous leucocytoclastic vasculitis that can be seen in infancy and characterized by fever, palpable purpura, and edema. Although it presents with severe symptoms, the clinical course is benign and the disease resolves in a short time. In this report, we present a 17-month-old infant who was admitted with cutaneous purpuric rash and edema of the extremities and subsequently diagnosed as acute infantile hemorrhagic edema.
