Through a complete blood count, it is basically confirmed that purpura is caused by thrombocytopenia, leading to subcutaneous bleeding in the patient.
We can now basically rule out the possibility of congenital blood disorders.
Then, the three common causes of acquired purpura are all worth considering.
Since the patient has thrombocytopenia, and allergic purpura generally does not accompany thrombocytopenia, we can preliminarily rule out allergic purpura.
That leaves drug-induced purpura and infectious purpura.
To determine which type of purpura it is, Li Jingsheng didn't rush to request new tests but started by examining thrombocytopenia to further analyze.
At this moment, it's truly a case of realizing there's not enough knowledge when it is needed.
The textbooks medical students study in school are certainly not enough.
Li Jingsheng likes to read books in his spare time and considers himself quite knowledgeable in medical science.
