title: Easy bruising in children.
abstract: It is necessary to determine whether easy bruising in children is caused by a hemorrhagic disorder. A careful history for the patient and family should be obtained and a physical examination should be done. Any positive indications of hemorrhagic diathesis call for basic coagulation screening tests.
