초록

영아기 급성 출혈성 부종(acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy, AHEI)은 주로 영아에서 발생하는 드문 혈관염으로 호흡기 바이러스 감염과 연관되어 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) 감염 후 발생한 AHEI 단일 사례를 보고한다. 재태주수 38주에 3.5kg으로 출생한 건강했던 생후 47일된 환아는 동반증상 없는 발열을 주소로 내원하였고 COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction 검사결과 양성이 확인되었다. 입원 이틀째부터 손과 발에 비창백성(non-blanching) 홍반성 반점(macule)과 반(patch)이 발생했고 압통을 동반한 부종이 관찰되었다. 발열은 호전되었고 전신 컨디션과 경구 섭취는 정상적인 모습을 보였다. 정맥 덱사메타손 투약 후 발진과 부종은 호전되었다. AHEI를 적시에 진단하는 것은 불필요한 검사나 치료를 피하고 드물지만 발생 가능한 심각한 합병증을 신속하게 발견하는데 중요하다.

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a rare, benign, vascular condition that primarily affects infants, and is possibly associated with respiratory viral infections. A case involving a 47-day-old male infant, who was admitted with a 1-day history of fever, is presented. Initially, the patient developed an erythematous macular rash and patches on the hands and feet, along with swelling. The fever subsided after the first day of hospitalization, and the patient remained in generally good condition with normal oral intake. Timely recognition of AHEI is crucial to avoid unnecessary medical investigations or therapies, and to promptly identify any rare but potentially severe complications that may arise.
