ALiEM presents SAEM Clinical Images Series: Can I Snooze on This Bruise?
A 21-month-old male with no medical problems is brought to the ED with concerns for bruising of the lower extremities and bilateral feet swelling. His parents noticed the patient walking differently 4 days ago, then noted bruising and edema of his feet. They state there has been no known injury or trauma, and at least one of the parents has been with the child at all times. The bruising has spread and darkened to become widespread on both legs and today they noticed a few new spots on his arms and face. They report some possible subjective fevers and mild congestion, but there have been no other symptoms. What is your suspected diagnosis?
