Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy: A New Observation
Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy is a is an uncommon benign cutaneous vacuities , It typically affects children between
4 and 24 months of age. It is characterized by large, target-like, and macular to purpuric plaques predominantly affecting the
face, ear lobes and extremities. Non-pitting edema of the distal extremities and low-grade fever may also be present. Extracutaneous
involvement is very rare. Despite its worrisome presentation, it carries good prognosis. The etiology of AHEI
remains unknown. The potential triggers of AHEI include preceding bacterial or viral infections, immunizations, and drugs.
The disease often occurs in winter or fall, supporting the link to preceding viral infections. It is a benign and auto-limited
