One thing I have never been able to understand is why petechiae occur in various disease processes. You always hear about it associated with diseases like Hemolytic Uremic syndrome, Leukemia, thrombocytopenic diseases, but why? What is going on at the microscopic level, and what is the linear sequence of events?
