Rumpel-Leede Phenomenon-An alarming rash with benign etiology in 4 healthy infants.

The Rumpel-Leede phenomenon (RLP) is a rare clinical presentation and in some cases shown to be related to serious systemic conditions. In children, it has been described in association with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and Henoch-Schönlein purpura. We present a series of pediatric cases of RLP with mechanical etiologies that had a benign course. We propose minimal investigations for pediatric RLP cases who are systemically well and have a clear suggestive history of a mechanical cause.
