Sorry no one got back to you? How is your baby and what was the diagnosis? Was it ITP or similar disorder?

My son also had petechiae a month ago. I took him one day and had bloodwork done. Platelet count was slightly elevated, but not absnormal. The same for red and white blood count. Pedetriac team at the hospital ended up chalking it up to a viral infection.
However, here we are a month later and he has petechiae again. It is certainly disconcerting. Did you ever receive a diagnosis for your son?

My son is 6monthes old and we just went to the doctor yeaterday for two little spots on his arm the doc did some blood work and his platelet count and his blood cell count were both elevated a little but he just sent us home and said that if it gets any worse to take him to the ER. I'm so worried that i didnt get a answer if anyone has an answer for me or a similar storie with more info please wrote me.

My daughter is 5 months old and she had one purple-red spot on her wrist and today she had two more on her leg. I was researching for the possible cause of this sudden spots and I came across the word petechiae. It sounded like something scary, so I am taking her to the doctor tomorrow. I will let you know what the doctor said. If any of you have any other info, please let me know. Also, I don't understand how this can be worse? how can I tell if I have to take my baby to the ER? I don't want to wait until is worse.
