Zusammenfassung:	Summary Acute haemorrhagic oedema of infancy (AHOI) is not a clinically well‐recognized disease. We present the case of a 10‐month‐old girl with AHOI, and compare the clinical, histopathological and immunohistological features of this acute purely cutaneous leukocytoelastic vasculitis with those of the more frequent Henoch–Schönlein purpura. AHOI should be regarded as a separate clinicopathological entity for correct prediction of prognosis and prevention of unnecessary treatment.
