AB  - Purpura  and  petechiae  are  seen  in  patients  with  bleeding  diatheses  or  vascular  damage.  Petechiae  are  capillary  hemorrhages  that  present  as  nonblanching,  pinpoint,  red  spots  over  dependent  body  parts,  most  commonly  the  lower  extremities.  They  are  often  associated  with  severe  thrombocytopenia.  Purpura  are  larger  hemorrhages  into  the  skin.  Purpura  are  associated  with  a  variety  of  life-threatening  diseases,  such  as  vasculitis  and  sepsis.
