Abstract

A 23 year-old Caucasian female with no past medical

history presents with one week of easy bruising and

increasing “red spots” on her arms and chest. She does

not recall any history of trauma that may have lead to

the bruises. She denies any fever or chills. She has no

history of bleeding problems and underwent dental

procedures last year without any complications. On

review of systems, she had vague left abdominal pain over

the past week and 3 days of right ear pain that was

recently treated with cefuroxamine as directed by her

primary care doctor. Family history is noncontributory.

She drinks occasional alcohol on weekends and denies

any tobacco or drug use. She takes no medications.
