RESUMEN
Niña de 20 meses de edad que había presentado la semana previa un cuadro catarral febril, en la que aparecieron placas edematosas, equimótico-purpúricas en las extremidades inferiores de forma simétrica, ni dolorosas a la palpación ni pruriginosas. No había lesiones en la cara y su estado general era bueno. Se realizó el diagnóstico de edema agudo hemorrágico del lactante (EAHL) por el aspecto clínico de las lesiones. Se le realizó un control evolutivo en el centro de salud, sin que requiriera tratamiento específico, y las lesiones desaparecieron completamente en el plazo de 2 semanas. El edema agudo hemorrágico del lactante es una vasculitis leucocitoclástica de pequeños vasos, con unas manifestaciones cutáneas muy llamativas, por el aspecto, la rapidez y la brusquedad de aparición de las lesiones, a pesar de lo cual tiene una evolución benigna, puesto que no hay afectación del estado general. El diagnóstico debe ser clínico y no es preciso instaurar ningún tratamiento (AU)
ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 20-month baby girl who had shown the previous week a febrile upper respiratory tract infection. During this process edematous plaques appeared, ecchymotic purpuric with symmetrical form on the lower extremities, they did not itch or were painful to touch. There were no lesions on the face and the patient's general medical state was satisfactory. A diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) was made based on the clinical aspect of the lesions. Regular checkups were performed in the clinic to monitor the progress of the condition and without requiring specific treatment the lesions disappeared completely within a period of two weeks. AHEI is a type of cutaneous leukocyteclastic vasculitis of small blood vessels and is striking due to its appearance the speed and abruptness at which the lesions spreads. Despite all it has a benign prognosis given that it does not negatively affect the general medical state of the patient. The diagnosis should be clinical and no treatment is necessary (AU)
