Finkelstein-Seidlmayer vasculitis, also called acute hemorrhagic edema of young children or infantile immunoglobulin A vasculitis, is habitually a benign skin-limited small vessel leukocytoclastic vasculitis that mainly affects infants 24 months or less of age. Since this disease is commonly triggered by an infection, an immune-mediated origin has been postulated. To better appreciate the possible underlying immune mechanism of this vasculitis, we addressed circulating autoimmune markers and vascular immune deposits in patients contained in the Acute Hemorrhagic Edema BIbliographic Database, which incorporates all original reports on Finkelstein-Seidlmayer vasculitis.

The patients were in good general conditions and with a low-grade or even absent fever.
