Abstract
You are called to the emergency department to evaluate a 4-month-old girl with multiple areas of purpura, including a distinctive bruise on the lateral aspect of the left thigh (Figure 1). The child's mother states that she noticed these lesions after picking up the infant from her biologic father, who was watching the child alone. No trauma history is reported. The child has been otherwise in good health, with no signs of infection.
