Abstract
MARTINEZ GARCIA, M. S. and CASADO SANCHEZ, M. L.. Henoch-Schönlein purpura or acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy?. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.55, pp.231-233. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322012000400009.
Pharyngitis caused by Streptococcus is rare in children less than 2 years old. Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is also infrequent. It is an immune-mediated vasculitis related to IgA. In our case, the most important fact is being a rare illness at that age, not just infrequent. Nevertheless, we doubt about the diagnosis because of the age, the symptoms or the evolution. Instead of a HSP, we think it could be an acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy.
