  Petechia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A petechia (puh-TEE-kee-uh, plural petechiae puh-TEE-kee-eye) is a small red or purple spot on the body, caused by a minor hemorrhage (broken capillary blood vessels).
Petechiae are a sign of thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts), other disorders of coagulation.
The presence of petechiae in a sick child is therefore an important warning sign.

 Orange-Crowned Swamp-Warbler
This species is seen in the company of Sylvicola coronata and Sylvicola petechia, both in the Southern States where it passes the winter, and while crossing the Union in early spring on its way to those North-eastern Districts where it breeds.
Like the Sylvicola petechia, it plays about the piazzas, skipping on wing in front of the clapboarded house, in quest of its prey, which it expertly seizes without alighting, or without snapping its bill, except during the disputes that occur among the males, as the spring advances.
When the season is favourable, these berries are so thickly strewn on the twigs, that they may be gathered in large quantities, and as they become ripe, numerous parties resort to the grounds in which they are found, by way of frolicking, and spend the time in a very agreeable manner.
