Causes of Infant Purple
The cause is not known, but it is linked with a particular susceptibility to viral diseases (outbreaks or respiratory), since more than 60 percent of cases, comes closest antecedent viral illness. However, in 30 to 40 percent of cases can not detect any prior condition.
The onset is usually rapid, after 3 or 4 weeks of a viral there is a sharp drop in the number of platelets that can reach less than 30,000 (usually 300,000). At that time begin the clinical manifestations of the disease: nosebleeds, bloody blisters in the oral mucosa and a generalized purpuric rash of the skin at the body.
Rarely, serious bleeding complications in vital organs, in international statistics, which fail to complications over 1 percent. Thrombocytopenic purpura of childhood have a favorable outcome with good treatment. Logically, it should be done by the pediatrician and, if necessary, by the hematologist, who also indicate, monitor how it is recovering the number of platelets, which normally occurs after 3 or 4 months old.
