| Purpura is a group of diseases characterized by skin petechiae and may be associated with other local or systemic manifestations. |
| Purpura is normally distinguished from erythema when pressure is applied by finger or by pressure of a slide on the erythematous patch (diascopy)fails to blanch the lesion. |
| It is a distinctive disorder, comprising a combination of purpura, often in a cockade pattern, and an inflammatory edema of the limbs and face, occurring almost exclusively in children under the age of 2 years, with a tendency to recurrence in the short term and subsequent spontaneous resolution. |
