Abstract:
Infantile acute hemorrhagic edema of the skin(IAHE) is a benign disease which affects infants between 4 months and 2 years of age and is characterized by palpable ecchymotic purpura and edema on the limb and face. We report a typical case of IAHE, which was presenting a cockade, annular, reticulated, and iris-like purpura and edema on the face and extremities in a 19-month-old male infant. We consider it to be a new disease category because its characteristics different markedly from HenochSchoenlein purpura in several clinical and histopathologic findings.
