Thrombotic purpura

Purple thrombosis This is bleeding into areas of the skin. As a rule, bruises in this disease are localized in places where the veins are damaged. These include soft tissue bruises, surgical interventions with damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, incorrectly performed injections (injection of medication into the outer skin layer). In some cases, spontaneous onset of purpura occurs in patients with blood clotting abnormalities, such as hemophilia. Patients with purple or purplish discoloration of the skin usually have at least one episode of persistent bluish swelling in the past. Many people experience a “beacon” of cyanosis near the nose and chin. Often, skin manifestations persist for several months or even years. Complications of thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins include: 1. Transition of the process to the deep veins. 2. Infection of a thrombosed vein with the development of purulent thrombophlebitis. 3. Gradual occlusion of the entire system of superficial and deep veins (noted in middle-aged and elderly patients). 4. Dissection of the venous wall with discharge of blood into the surrounding tissues. It is observed in malnourished patients with pronounced subcutaneous fat. Necrotic changes lead to the development of large areas of gangrene. Therefore, treatment of this type of thrombosis consists not only of prescribing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and angioprotectors, but also creating artificial nutrition using a probe or using a device for extrarenal blood purification. During treatment, it is imperative to take measures to prevent infection of the affected area (
