title: Escherichia coli Urinary Infection as a Cause of Acute Hemorrhagic Edema in Infancy.
abstract: Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a benign leukocytoclastic small-vessel vasculitis that affects infants, presenting with a classic clinical triad. Because of the self-limited progression, conservative management is the most common approach. We describe a case of AHEI apparently triggered by an Escherichia coli urinary tract infection.
