A case report of acute infantile hemorrhagic edema with adenovirus infection

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis which is characterized by fever, edema, large purpuric skin lesions and usually spontaneously regressed within a few days or weeks without systemic symptom. Despite the initially dramatic appearance of the disease, the clinical course is benign and is recovering in a short time. The etiology is not known but infection, vaccination and drug therapies are thought to cause AHEI. In this article, we present a 9-month-old male patient with AHEI caused by Adenovirus infection, which is reported rarely in the literature.
