Please tell me what petichiae means? Is it caused by fungi? I’ve heard that it affects skin. I would like to hear more about this. Thank you in advance.
Petechia is not caused by fungi, but may be caused by bacteria. Small red or purple spots appear on skin and are caused by broken capillary blood vessels. Severe coughing or vomiting also may cause these minor hemorrhages. Sometimes, it is a sign of low level of trombocytes in blood.
