A 9-months-old boy, who had had fever and otitis media during 10 days, developed oedema of both legs and erythematolivid, partly confluent papules on his legs and right auricle. We diagnosed him with 'acute haemorrhagic oedema of infancy'. This is a benign, self-limiting vasculitis of the dermis that does not require treatment.
