A cross-sectional study of clinico-etiological profile and associated comorbidities in Indian patients of pigmented purpuric dermatoses

Conclusion: PPD was found to be associated with a variety of disorders and comorbidities. The number of the comorbidities increased with increasing severity of the disease. Besides exposing the patient to various risk factors, this may contribute to the vessel wall damage seen in the condition. All patients with PPD should, therefore, undergo an initial screen for these comorbidities.
