Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1988
The purpose of this article is to call attention to an unusual syndrome that may lead to a major loss of soft tissue, limb, and life. The application of principles learned from trauma and burn care may substantially reduce the morbidity and mortality, which in the past have been associated with purpura fulminans.

Seven children with purpura fulminans are reported. All were very sick and had extensive purpuric and ecchymotic skin lesions. Five of them had septicemia, one had meningitis and one had viral respiratory tract infection. The bacteria cultured were Staphylococcus aureus (1), Hemophilus influenzae (1), Pseudomonas aeroginosa (1), Klebsiella pneumoniae ...

Purpura fulminans is a rare disease that typically begins as a benign infectious process and subsequently progresses to severe sepsis, hypotension, purpura ecchymosis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. We present an unusual case of an adult who was seen initially with pneumococcal sepsis that subsequently developed into purpura fulminans with

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.

Purpura Fulminans is a severe disorder of acute onset with high morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by DIC with thrombocytopenia, hyofibrinogenemia, hypothrombinemia and anemia. It most often occurs in young with sudden appearance of symmetrical, tender, ecchymotic skin lesions usually involving the lower extremities.

A 48-year-old diabetic woman presented with 2-day history of fever and skin discolouration over hand. On admission, her vital parameters were stable and systemic examination unremarkable. Cutaneous examination revealed well-defined dusky ecchymotic patches with tender indurated margins, haemorrhagic bulla, focal gangrenous necrosis and ulceration ...

Sepsis-induced purpura fulminans is a rare but life-threatening disorder, characterized by hemorrhagic infarction of the skin caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation and dermal vascular thrombosis. The pathogenesis is linked to enhanced expression of the natural procoagulants and depletion of the natural anticoagulant proteins particularly ...

Varicella-associated purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare complication to varicella infection. The condition is due to autoantibodies directed against protein S which forms part of the anticoagulation system. Lack of protein S leads to disseminated intravascular coagulation in the small vessels, which causes thrombosis and ischemia. Despite early treatment,
