[Acute haemorrhagic edema of the skin of the new-born with lethal intestinal complication (author's transl)].
A child, eleven months old, presented with an A. H. O. after an otitis. The dermatologic aspect is typical with oedema and target-like hemorrhagies. The disease evolved in three successive episodes. During the second one two intestinal intussuceptions occurred. It was necessary to proceed to an intestinal resection of twenty centimeters of the small bowel and of the right part of the large bowel. The post-operative period has been complicated by an intravascular coagulation, perforation of small bowel and peritonis due to Proteus bacillus. The child died during these complications. This evolution looks like an anaphylactoid purpura of Schönlein-Henoch. But this does not allow to affirm that these two allergic vasculitis are related to the same etiology. Our own observation suggests the necessity of watching the coagulation rate when an acute haemorrhagic oedema is complicated by bowel's intussusception.
