| Bruising in children and intracranial bleeding can raise concern about inflicted injuries such as child abuse but they may also be an indicator of an underlying hematological condition. Bleeding disorders are more common than previously realized and primary care physicians need an understanding of when to worry that it is a caregiver causing the injuries and when it is the child[apos]s underlying medical condition. |
