Akut İnfantil Hemorajik Ödem: İki Olgunun Sunumu

Abstract

Akut infantil hemorajik ödem, üç yaşından küçük çocuklarda, seyrek görülen, derinin lökositoklastik vaskülitidir. Hastalık kendini sınırlar ve iyi klinik seyre sahiptir. Çalışmada; deride purpurik döküntü ve ekstremitelerde ödem yakınmaları ile başvuran, klinik ve laboratuvar incelemeleri sonucunda akut infantil hemorajik ödem tanısı almış iki olgu sunulmuştur. Klinik izlem ve tedavi açısından farklı yaklaşımlar gerektiren özellikle Henoch-Schönlen purpurası, meningokoksemi, purpura fulminans gibi hastalıklarla ayırıcı tanıda akut infantil hemorajik ödemin de düşünülmesi gerektiğini vurgulamak istedik.

Acute Infantile Hemorrhagic Edema: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Acute infantile hemorrhagic edema is an unusual form of leukocytoclastic vasculitis that usually occurs in children younger than three years of age. The disease is self-limiting and has a benign clinical course. In this report, two cases who were admitted to our hospital with cutaneous purpuric rash and edema in the extremities and subsequently diagnosed as acute infantile hemorrhagic edema are presented. We emphasize that acute infantile hemorrhagic edema should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura, meningococcemia, and purpura fulminans
