Abstract

In infants less than 2 years of age, acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is characterized by the rapid onset of purpuric annular lesions associated with initially local edemas of the extremities. In most cases, this disorder is benign, without visceral involvement and diagnosis is based on clinical examination.  We report the case of a 3-month old infant with diffuse pseudo-roundel like lesions in a context of apyrexy and preservation of the general state. Patient’s outcome was favorable, without receiving any treatment. This confirm the diagnosis of AHEI
