- Differentials of meningococcal septicaemia
- Other causes of sepsis with DIC
- Non-accidental injury
- Haematological malignancies
- Henoch schonlein purpura
- Idiopathic thrmbocytopenic purpura
- And benign mechanical causes of petechiae
And all with respect to the discerning features of each, when to refer, management in Primary Care, and good safety-neating advice for parents.
