AHEBID, the Acute Hemorrhagic Edema Bibliographic Database, progressively integrates all the original articles on acute hemorrhagic edema of young children published after the report by Snow in 1913. For this purpose, we used the Excerpta Medica and the National Library of Medicine databases, Google and especially the medical literature folder on acute hemorrhagic edema started by some of us in the early eighties. The literature is systematically screened by two members of our group every second month. AHEBID project presently includes bibliographic records on more than 500 published cases of acute hemorrhagic edema.
It is our hope that the AHEBID database may be employed to provide greater insight into the characteristics of acute hemorrhagic edema. Furthermore, we hope that the results will help developing consensus guidelines relating to diagnosis and management of this vasculitis syndrome.
