Red or purple purpuric eruptions measuring <3 mm in diameter each, occurring from minor hemorrhage of skin or mucous membrane.
Small, pinpoint bleeding under the skin; one of the signs of scurvy.
A small, reddish or purplish pinpoint spot on a body surface, such as the skin or mucous membranes, caused by a minute hemorrhage.
A tiny spiderlike hemorrhage under the skin.
Minute hemorrhagic spots in the skin.
Very small bruises or hemorrhages under the skin.
Pinpoint hemorrhages on the skin occurring due to platelet deficiency.
Pinpoint, round, red spots in the skin caused by bleeding in the skin; a single spot is a petechia. Petechiae can be a sign of various blood diseases, such as leukemia, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and myeloproliferative disorders.
Small red macules due to haemorrhage in the skin. They may be caused by trauma such as by tight pressure, as in strangulation or even by the effect of violent coughing. Bleeding and clotting disorders may provoke petechiae, and they are a feature of many childhood viral infections. Most importantly they may be a sign of septicaemia due to a meningococcus.
Hemorrhage in the form of small rounded spots or petechiae occurring in the skin or mucous membranes.
Small, purplish, hemorrhagic spots on the skin that appear in patients with platelet deficiencies (thrombocytopenias) and in many febrile illnesses.
Petechiae are small, red or purple spots that appear on the skin or mucous membranes. Unlike some other spots, they remain colored even when pressure is applied. These spots are a result of minor bleeding from tiny blood vessels. They can be seen in conditions like purpura, which encompasses various bleeding disorders, and occasionally in bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the heart’s inner lining. Excessive straining, as experienced in conditions like whooping cough, can also lead to the appearance of petechiae.
