Review
This is a review on Morbus maculosus equorum (purpura haemorrhagica) on the base of literature data and of a case report on 13 own patients. It is shown, that the clinical picture of this disease has not changed within the last 150 years. Clinical main symptoms are haemorrhagic diathesis (petechiae, ecchymosis, suggillations) as well as peripheral edema and fever. The main haematological findings are neutrophilia, mostly going along with shift to the left and lymphopenia. In the last few years thrombocytopenia was also described in some cases. Basic therapeutics are glucocorticoids and penicillins. Problems of differential diagnosis and of nomenclature are discussed.

Review
A low-income mother is accused of child abuse after co-sleeping with, and then waking to find her 13-month-old daughter entangled and apparently strangling in the mother's hair. The baby was initially unconscious and cyanotic; revived by the time the parents reached the ER, clinical examination revealed a ligature mark on the neck and petechiae on the face. In a pro bono effort, her attorney teamed with RAM Consulting as an expert witness. RAM performed a six-part investigation including: (1) an anthropometric analysis, (2) determination of the strength of human hair, (3) characterization of the ligature mark, (4) an investigation into airway occlusion forces, (5) an investigation into the conditions required to initiate petechiae, and (6) a review of the literature. Our conclusion was that it is possible for a strangulation incident to occur when a young child is co-sleeping with a parent with long hair, and that this scenario may result in injury or death. Upon review of this report and RAM's deposition on this matter, the prosecuting attorney's expert witness withdrew her testimony and the judge dismissed the case.

The pigmented purpuric eruptions most likely represent a group of clinical patterns of erythrocyte extravasation due to pericapillary inflammation. This inflammatory reaction may be in response to an immunologic reaction of some type, as suggested by immunopathologic studies and by the drug-induced pigmented purpuras. It is important to recognize this group of cutaneous purpura primarily to distinguish the pigmented purpuric eruptions from other types of purpura which are associated with systemic illness. The various eponyms or descriptive types of the pigmented purpuric eruptions are of historical and dermatologic interest; there is little clinical use in distinguishing among the types for a given patient.

Itching purpura is a benign disorder characterized by the sudden onset of markedly pruritic, purpuric lesions with a clinical appearance similar to the progressive pigmented purpuric dermatoses. The pruritus is severe and unremitting and may lead to depression and loss of sleep. Hematologic and serologic evaluation is normal in most cases. The disease tends to be chronic with exacerbations and remissions lasting over a period of months to years. No current therapy has been uniformly successful in treating itching purpura.

Review
Diseases associated with purpura range from the most common and trivial of human afflictions to some of the most devastating and rapidly fatal syndromes known. In order to sort the simple from the sinister, it is necessary to use not only the history and general physical examination, but also various morphologic components of the purpuric lesions themselves to suggest likely pathophysiologies of hemorrhage. Findings such as erythema, livedo reticularis, size of hemorrhage, presence or absence of palpability, symmetry or retiform patterning of lesions, and presence and extent of necrosis or eschar formation all can serve as clues to the likely etiologies of hemorrhage. Effective communication about purpuric syndromes requires information regarding the likely age of lesions described clinically or histologically and a precise description of the individual elements of the lesion. Such communication would be enhanced by eliminating the ambiguity inherent in the current usage of many of the terms employed to describe such lesions. This paper presents one possible approach to better use of the information that the morphology of purpuric lesions can provide.
