Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a type of leukocytoclastic vasculitis that is not fatal.

Although it causes fever, large palpable purpuric skin lesions, and edema, it is a harmless condition.

[3] The typical clinical picture is edema on the cheeks, auricles, and extremities along with purpuric skin lesions.

[6] The rashes are usually sharply edged, and the centers of the iris-like lesions are rarely normal skin color.

[5] The extremities, including the ears, chin, eyelids, malar region, and scrotal area, are particularly affected.
