| ==Overview== | | ==[[Purpura overview|Overview]]== |
| '''Purpura''' (from the Latin, ''purpura'', meaning "purple") is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the [[skin]], caused by [[bleeding]] underneath the [[skin]]. Small spots are called [[petechia|petechiae]], while large spots are called [[ecchymoses]].
| |
|
| |
|
| This is common with [[typhus]] and can be present with [[meningitis]] caused by [[meningococcal]] meningitis or [[septicaemia]].

| Purpura is a common and unspecific symptom, however the underlying mechanism commonly involves one of the following:

|
| |
|
| *[[Platelet|Platelet disorders]]
| | ==[[Purpura pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]== |
| **[[idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura|Primary thrombocytopenic purpura]]
| |
| **Secondary thrombocytopenic purpura
| |
| *Vascular disorders
| |
| **Microvascular injury, as seen in senile (old age) purpura, when blood vessels are more easily damaged
| |
| **Hypertensive states
| |
| **Deficient vascular support
| |
| **[[Vasculitis]], as in the case of [[Henoch-Schönlein purpura]]
| |
| *[[Coagulopathy|Coagulation disorders]]
| |
| **[[Disseminated intravascular coagulation]] (DIC)
| |
|
| |
|
| There are also cases of psychogenic purpura described in the medical literature,<ref name="pmid10069314">{{cite journal |author=Anderson JE, DeGoff W, McNamara M |title=Autoerythrocyte sensitization (psychogenic purpura): a case report and review of the literature |journal=Pediatric emergency care |volume=15 |issue=1 |pages=47-8 |year=1999 |pmid=10069314 |doi=}}</ref> some claimed to be due to "autoerythrocyte sensitization".
