Infantile acute hemorrhagic edema of the skin: study of ten cases.

Infantile acute hemorrhagic edema of the skin is not included as a separate entity in the current English-language literature as it is in continental Europe.

Our study confirms that acute hemorrhagic edema affects infants between 4 and 24 months of age.
