Physical examination

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Petechiae: Small pinhead hemorrhagic spot <3 mm
? Purpura (latin mean purple): Red or purpuric discoloration of skin

that do not blanch on pressure, size 3-10 mm

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Ecchymosis: size >1 cm
? Hematoma: Collection of blood under skin or muscle of more than 1

cm

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Hemarthrosis: Collection of blood in joints
Physical examination

? Mucocutaneous bleeding suggests a disorder of primary hemostasis,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

i.e. VWD or platelet dysfunction/deficiency, or a vascular disorder.

? In males, deep hematomas, hemarthroses, or evidence of chronic

joint abnormalities suggests hemophilia

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? Acquired bleeding disorders may present in the context of coexisting

illness

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Anemia
? Thrombocytopenia
? Loose joints and lax skin

Physical examination

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? Lymphadenopathy and/or organomegaly suggest an infiltrative

process such as malignancy or a storage disease.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Signs of liver failure suggest acquired coagulation factor deficiencies
? Additional congenital anomalies may suggest the presence of a

syndromic bleeding disorder
