[Superficial purpura with necrosis in severe consumptive coagulopathy. Clinical study].
In this report the case history of three patients with superficial, non-inflammatory purpura is described. In all patients the purpura demonstrated partially reticular, partially racemose configuration. Signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation were detected in two patients. One patient developed disseminated intravascular coagulation caused by an overwhelming postsplenectomy infection. Nosological position, pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of this kind of purpura are discussed.
