TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Fifteen-minute consultation: bruising in the premobile child JO - Archives of disease in childhood: education and practice edition A1 - Wallace, Fiona A1 - Collins, Julie-Ann A1 - Talawila Da Camara, Nishanthi A1 - Kemp, Alison Mary A1 - Prosser, Ingrid A1 - Mullen, Stephen SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - A bruise in a premobile infant is an uncommon finding and often results in referral to the paediatric or emergency departments, acknowledging the potential for physical abuse in this vulnerable cohort. Our role as clinicians is to undertake a thorough assessment, consider potential differentials and organise appropriate investigations, with involvement of the wider multidisciplinary team. In this article, we use a case vignette to discuss how one would approach a bruise in the premobile infant including the evidence base.
