Abstract(s)
O Edema Agudo Hemorrágico do Lactente é uma vasculite leucocitoclástica de etiologia desconhecida, que ocorre em lactentes e crianças pequenas. Caracteriza-se pelo aparecimento súbito e rápida progressão de lesões eritematosas e purpúricas associadas a edema das extremidades e febre. Trata-se de uma entidade pouco conhecida e subdiagnosticada, embora o quadro clínico seja típico.
Os autores descrevem dois casos clínicos observados no Serviço de Urgência, com apresentação clínica, laboratorial e evolução semelhantes. Pretendem dar a conhecer esta entidade, permitindo assim o seu rápido reconhecimento e evitando investigação e tratamento desnecessários.
