A case of purpura fulminans following varicella was shown to be a defibrinating syndrome and was treated successfully with fibrinogen alone. The similarities between the Shwartzman phenomenon and purpura fulminans are discussed and are shown to support the hypothesis that purpura fulminans is primarily an immunological disease, similar to the ...

Dermatologic Clinics, 1989
Purpura is a cutaneous manifestation of a wide variety of diseases. These include such diverse entities as platelet defects, vasculitides, and disorders of connective tissue. Uncovering the underlying disorder in a patient with purpura is a stimulating challenge to the clinician's diagnostic abilities.

Purpura fulminans is a rare disease characterized by cutaneous ecchymosis, hypotension and fever associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation. It usually follows a preparatory infectious illness. A case in a 55 year old woman challenges the concept that this disease is limited to childhood.

International Journal of Dermatology, 1992
Factitious purpura may present as a perplexing problem for the dermatologist and can mimic serious disease. This form of mechanical purpura, often caused by suction may be deliberately or unknowingly induced by the patient. Some cases may go unrecognized for a considerable length of time and undergo unnecessary investigation before the diagnosis is ...

Purpura fulminans presents as a catastrophic illness with gangrene of the distal extremities and necrosis of skin. The clinical picture consists of septicemia, shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The Shwartzman and Arthus reactions are thought to be responsible for the pathogenesis of purpura fulminans.

Thrombocytopenic purpura is one of few hematologic disorders that may be a five-alarm emergency. It is potentially fatal, yet potentially curable. Adequate intervention can mean the difference. Evaluation of the case need not take long. Look at the patient. Look at a blood smear. Do a platelet count. Aspirate bone marrow from the sternum.
