Abstract
Acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood is an unusual form of leukocytocl astic vasculitis previously reported in children age 4 months to 3 yea rs. The etiology remains unknown, however, many authors describe the p rocess as an immune-mediated vasculitis in response to a variety of an tigenic stimuli, We report a case of congenital acute hemorrhagic edem a of childhood associated with maternal gastroenteritis six weeks befo re delivery.
