What is Purpura?

Answer 1

Purple in Spanish

Answer 2

Purpura is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the skin, caused by bleeding underneath the skin. Small spots are called 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 disorders
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
Coagulation disorders
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
There are also cases of psychogenic purpura described in the medical literature, some due to autoerythrocyte sensitization.
