ABSTRACT
Acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood is an uncommon form of cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis that occurs in children younger than 3 years. This is characterized by tender edema and rosette-shaped purpuric patches that generally resolve without intervention. We describe a 26-month-old boy with acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood, in whom the disease appeared after an acute respiratory illness. Skin lesions presented with acral edema, and rosette-shaped purpuric plaques on the face and limbs. Some authors consider the disease as a purely cutaneous form of Henoch-Schoenlein purpura, but it is more likely that acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood could be regarded as a distinct entity within leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
