Abstract
CHECA RODRIGUEZ, R.; CARABANO AGUADO, I. and ALVAREZ FERNANDEZ, B.. Acute hemorrhagic edema in a newborn. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.66, pp.151-153. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322015000300011.
Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy is an infrequent disease with a benign course that appears between 3 months and 2 years old and, exceptionally, during the neonatal period. It is characterized by erythematous edema and purpuric lesions involving mainly the face and extremities, with a spontaneous recovery in days to weeks. We report a case of acute hemorrhagic edema with a neonatal onset in a 17 days-old girl, followed in our service recently.
