Abstract

Purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare but life threatening disorder of acute onset characterised by cutaneous haemorrhage and necrosis caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation and dermal vascular thrombosis.

Our case is a 19 yrs old female, with no previous co morbidities, high grade fever, loose stool, cough with non purulent mucoid expectoration not associated with hemoptysis and lower limb purpuric rashes.
