Abstract: | Neonatal purpura fulminans is a life threatening clinical entity characterized by extensive subcutaneous thrombosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation usually manifesting shortly after birth. We report an autosomal recessive form of the disease in a neonate who was diagnosed with compound heterozygosity for mutations in his protein C gene as the molecular basis of his disorder. |
