Abstract: Purpura Fulminanis (PF) is an emergency progressive thrombotic disorder in which there is skin necrosis, Disseminated Dntravascular Coagulation (DIC) and multiorgan failure. It may complicate severe sepsis or may occur as an autoimmune response to other infection as varicella. Also, it may associate with severe heritable deficiency of protein C or protein S. PF is a rapidly fatal disease, so it needs rapid diagnosis and management promptly. We present a case of purpura fulminanis who died, unfortunately, after 8 days due to severe sepsis.
