Autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome (AES) was first described by Gardner and Diamond in 1955, when four women with painful bruising were depicted. Patients with AES typically present with the development of recurrent, spontaneous, painful ecchymosis, frequently preceded by a prodrome of pain or itching of the skin. The patients are sensitive to their own red blood cells injected intradermally, and underlying coagulopathies are thought to be absent. We introduce a 70-year-old woman presenting with recurrent episodes of painful bruising on the trunk and extremities.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the phenomenon of stigmata, specifically focusing on the case of Blessed Elena Aiello, who experienced severe hematidrosis, or blood sweating, from 1923 until her death.
- Stigmata are marks associated with Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, believed by some to be divinely impressed on individuals, and Aiello's symptoms reportedly occurred during Lent, particularly on Good Friday.
- A medical study conducted by doctors suggested the origins of her sores were unclear, leading to discussions about the potential for simulation or psychological factors such as autosuggestion.

Background: Psychogenic purpura is an idiopathic psychodermatologic condition of recurrent, painful purpura precipitated by psychological stress, predominantly affecting young females. Little consensus exists on the diagnostic guidelines for this rare condition, often resulting in costly, unnecessary, and stressful investigations as well as prolonged hospital admissions.
Objective: With this first up-to-date systematic review of 134 cases of psychogenic purpura in over a decade, we aim to thoroughly investigate the diagnostic strategy and treatment regimens used in the last decade.
