10 Causes of Purpura
Cause #9: Immune Disorders
There are several forms of purpura that can arise out of immune disorders such as HIV. One such form of the condition, known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), is very similar to other types of purpura. It leads to excessive bruises and bleeding, which can result in fairly serious rashes.
This condition can affect both children and adults equally. Children most often develop it after contracting a virus and will generally recover quickly, but adults often retain the condition over the long-term.
