Purpura fulminans may have infectious, hereditary and idiopathic etiology. We came across a case of purpura fulminans in a 9-year-old boy who
had been healthy for first 4 years of his life and suddenly developed gangrenous lesions on extremities which proceeded to the detachment of
some digits. Laboratory evaluation revealed mild anemia, hypoalbuminemia, high platelet count, elevated aPTT, PT and INR, mild proteinuria and
high urinary protein to creatinine ratio. Child was managed by warfarin therapy.
