| Abstract: | An attempt was made to combine anticoagulant therapy with gabexate mesilate and urokinase in a case of purpura fulminans developing after varicella infection. One week after the initiation of the treatment, the gangrenous extremities fully recovered without significant tissue necrosis. This is probably the first case of treatment of the disease that brought an immediate result. |
