Acute inflammatory edema is a noninfectious inflammatory condition of the skin that is commonly seen in critically ill patients. It is characterized by edematous, erythematous, and nontender plaques involving the abdomen and thighs, sparing areas of the skin subject to pressure. Risk factors include fluid overload, hypoalbuminemia, and obesity. Differentiating acute inflammatory edema from cellulitis can be challenging. Supportive care is the mainstay therapy for acute inflammatory edema, with interventions primarily focused on lowering the fluid burden. We report an unusual case of a nonobese patient in the outpatient setting with acute inflammatory edema.
急性炎症性水肿是一种皮肤非感染性炎症状态，常见于危重症患者。其特征为腹部和大腿出现水肿性、红斑性且无压痛的斑块，受压部位皮肤不受累。危险因素包括液体超负荷、低白蛋白血症和肥胖。鉴别急性炎症性水肿与蜂窝织炎可能具有挑战性。支持性治疗是急性炎症性水肿的主要治疗方法，干预措施主要集中在减轻液体负担。我们报告了一例门诊非肥胖患者发生急性炎症性水肿的罕见病例。
