Purpura fulminans is a rapidly evolving syndrome of cutaneous microvascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic necrosis. We present the case of a male patient, hospitalized for an infectious pathology and an acute cardiovascular event, who developed purpura fulminans due to protein C deficiency, related to a concomitant infectious condition.

Keywords : purpura fulminans; bacterial pneumonia; protein C; protein S.
