Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis of infants, clinically characterized by acute development of peripheral edema and targetoid purpuric lesions on face and extremities. It is considered to be an uncommon form of cutaneous vasculitis occurring in children younger than two years old. The clinical picture has a violent onset, a short benign course followed by spontaneous complete recovery. We report a case of a male child who presented with upper respiratory tract infection followed by limb swelling and purpuric and ecchymotic lesions on the skin. Skin biopsy revealed leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
