The clinical picture has a violent onset with a short benign course followed by spontaneous complete recovery. We describe a five-month-old boy with acute hemorrhagic edema, in whom the disease appeared after antibiotic treatment for a cellulitis in front of the tragus. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
