Abstract
Acute haemorrhagic oedema of infancy (AHOI) is not a clinically well-r ecognized disease. We present the case of a 10-month-old girl with AHO I, and compare the clinical, histopathological and immunohistological features of this acute purely cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis wi th those of the more frequent Henoch-Schonlein purpura. AHOI should be regarded as a separate clinicopathological entity for correct predict ion of prognosis and prevention of unnecessary treatment.
