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.

Unlabelled: Acute hemorrhagic edema of young children is a rare leukocytoclastic vasculitis that has been reported exclusively in small retrospective cases series, case reports, or quizzes. Considering that retrospective experience deserves confirmation in at least one observational prospective study, we present our experience with 16 children (12 boys and 4 girls, 5-28 months of age) affected by acute hemorrhagic edema. The patients were in good general conditions and with a low-grade or even absent fever.
