- Edema Hemorrágico Agudo da Infância - Dois Casos ClínicosPublication . Monteiro, C.; Lira, S.; Zilhão, C.ABSTRACT Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy (AHEI) is a leukocytoclastic vasculitis that is usually observed before the age of two years. It is characterized by large purpuric lesions on the face and extremities along with edema of the hands and feet. The exuberance of the lesions is opposed to the well-being of the child and the benign course, resolving in 1-3 weeks, usually without recurrence or long term complications. The authors present two clinical cases of AHEI diagnosed one month apart.
