Multiorganic failure is a rare manifestation of hantavirus infection but it should be included among differential diagnoses of multiorganic failure in the pediatric age. Currently, there is no effective therapy for this infection. A high suspicion index and early referral to a pediatric intensive
A 27-month-old patient with SOArab hemoglobinopathy complicated by purpura fulminants was studied with 99mTc-pyrophosphate. The study showed an absence of radiotracer in the bones of both feet and the distal portions of both hands, along with an increased concentration of radiotracer proximal to the
We report the case of a 60-year-old Hispanic male with widespread necrotic purpuric lesions involving the penile, suprapubic, inguinal and hip dermis due to purpura fulminans. Purpura fulminans describes a rare syndrome involving intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction of the skin; this
We report the case of a 63-year-old white man who, 3 days after stent removal of endoscopic drainage of pancreatic cysts, developed a penile necrosis due to purpura fulminans (PF) that has been misdiagnosed as Fournier's gangrene. Penile necrosis was rapidly followed by a lethal multiorgan failure
Purpura fulminans in neonates is a rapidly progressive thrombotic disorder manifesting as hemorrhagic skin infarction and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Being inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, it is a medical emergency. Clinical presentations of patients may vary depending on the
Purpura fulminans is a life-threatening hematologic emergency characterized by extensive skin necrosis with hemorrhagic infarction, hypotension and gangrene which may arise from severe sepsis; mostly gram negative sepsis though also associated with some gram positive organisms, similarly viral
BACKGROUND
Purpura fulminans (PF) is a skin manifestation due to hemorrhagic infarction caused by intravascular thrombosis secondary to bacterial infections or deficiency of anticoagulants such as protein C and protein S. Neonatal PF is a rare but potentially disabling disorder associated with a
Purpura fulminans is a rare syndrome of intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction of the skin that is rapidly progressive and accompanied by vascular collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulation. It usually occurs in children, but this syndrome has also been noted in adults. The
BACKGROUND
Children with acute meningococcemia may have impaired myocardial function resulting in low cardiac output despite normal intravascular volume. Severe meningococcal infection has been associated with acute interstitial myocarditis, endocarditis, and pericarditis, but not with myocardial
An unusual case of infarction of the tibia in a neonate who presented with sepsis following poor cord management at birth is reported. He was managed as for necrotizing enterocolitis and had limited debridement of infarcted limb because the parents refused amputation of the limb. This patient was a
Plasma protein-C exerts anticoagulatory effects by inactivating factors V and VIII. Hereditary protein C deficiency is transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder. Homozygous individuals usually develop purpura fulminans as newborns; heterozygous protein C-deficient individuals are at increased
Protein C, a vitamin K-dependent protein, is a blood coagulation inhibitor. Its deficiency causes systemic thrombosis. A 31-year-old woman developed cerebral infarction followed by late psychomotor seizures, and thrombosis in the inferior mesenteric vein and bilateral crural veins. Her parents were
Purpura fulminans is a rare syndrome of intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction of the skin, which is an unusual cutaneous manifestation of disseminated intravascular coagulation. It often occurs in small children and babies due to infection and/or sepsis, rarely in adults in clinic. We
Sepsis-induced purpura fulminans is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by rapidly progressive hemorrhagic infarction of the skin due to dermal vascular thrombosis resulting in tissue loss and severe scarring. Although most commonly related to meningococcal or invasive group A
