Early symptoms of purpura

Skin purpura is the first symptom in most patients. Purpura is characterized by needle to soybean sized ecchymosis, ecchymosis, urticaria like rash or pink macular papule. Purpura can fuse into patches and eventually turn brown. Generally, it subsides within 1-2 weeks without any trace.

Severe cases may have blisters, blood blisters, necrosis and even ulcers. Skin rash often occurs in the weight-bearing parts, especially in the extension of limbs, especially in the lower limbs, around the ankle and buttocks. The lesions distributed symmetrically, appeared in batches, and were easy to recur. Only skin damage is also called simple purpura,

About 2 / 3 cases had gastrointestinal symptoms. It usually appears within one week of the rash. Common abdominal pain, mostly manifested as paroxysmal periumbilical pain, colic, abdominal pain can also occur in other parts of the abdomen. May have tenderness, rare rebound pain. It was accompanied by vomiting. About half of the children had positive occult blood in their stools, some of them had bloody stools, and even hematemesis.
