[Girl with recurrent erythematous edematous plaques on her legs].

A 4-year-old girl with a history of surgery for strabismus was assessed in the emergency department for pruritic lesions on the right leg that had appeared 3 days previously. Although the patient was afebrile and in good general health, she was diagnosed with bacterial cellulitis and admitted to the hospital for intravenous antibiotic therapy. Improvement was very slow and the patient required a switch from amoxicillin-clavulanic acid to cefotaxime plus clindamycin; she was discharged 11 days later. A week later, she was taken back to the emergency room due to the appearance of a similar lesion on the contralateral ankle. She was afebrile and in good general health.
