چکیده
The first patient was a 7-year-old male child who presented with red lesions over the face after a single episode of vomiting [Figure 1]. On examination the lesions were purpuric, but not palpable (except for a few lesions where the petechia seemed to be superimposed over pre-existing milia).The child presented to us on the same day of the vomiting episode. The father mentioned that the vomiting was forceful. The child had been seen by the pediatrician on the same day. The pediatrician had considered a diagnosis of gastritis.
