Factitious purpura may present as a perplexing problem for the dermatologist and can mimic serious disease. This form of mechanical purpura, often caused by suction may be deliberately or unknowingly induced by the patient. Some cases may go unrecognized for a considerable length of time and undergo unnecessary investigation before the diagnosis is realized. Three cases of purpura are reported in which the causative agents were very different.

Review
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in children is a relatively uncommon and generally benign condition presenting as abrupt onset of bruising, petechiae and thrombocytopenia in an otherwise healthy child due to production of anti-platelet autoantibodies. Diagnosis is largely clinical and laboratory investigation should be kept to a minimum. Indications for treatment have not been standardized and include bleeding, parental anxiety and quality of life. Multiple treatments are available that have been proven to increase the platelet count; the most commonly employed include IVIG, steroids and WinRho (anti-D). Intracranial hemorrhage is the most serious potential complication but is extremely rare and splenectomy is reserved for chronically symptomatic patients who have not responded to other modalities. Identification of molecular targets may be a promising avenue for future research.

Dermatologists should consider Achenbach syndrome in the differential diagnosis for patients with purpura on the fingers. The patient should be monitored following appropriate examination and invasive tests, such as skin biopsy or angiography, should be avoided unless necessary.
