Acute haemorrhagic oedema of infancy (AHOI) is a rare condition and an unusual diagnosis for the paediatrician, as approximately 300 cases have been reported in literature so far. Although it was considered for years a less serious variant of Henoch-Schönlein purpura, nowadays it is thought to be a different entity, with his own characteristics and clinical outcome. In literature it is described as a benign condition, self-limiting and without any systemic involvement in most of the cases. We present an atypical case of AHOI with a severe presentation and which needed an aggressive and prolonged steroid therapy.
婴儿急性出血性水肿（AHOI）是一种罕见的疾病，也是儿科医生不常见的诊断，因为迄今为止，文献中大约报告了 300 例病例。虽然多年来它被认为是过敏性紫癜的一种较轻的变异型，但现在它被认为是一种不同的实体，具有自己的特征和临床结果。在文献中，它被描述为一种良性疾病，大多数情况下是自限性的，没有任何全身性受累。我们报告了一例非典型的 AHOI 病例，其表现严重，需要积极和长期的类固醇治疗。
