Fractional radiofrequency microneedle system is a safe and effective device for treating acne scars in Asians with minimal risk of downtime and adverse effects.
Purpura fulminans (PF) is an uncommon syndrome of acute purplish skin eruption characterized by coagulation of the microvasculature, which leads to purplish lesions and skin necrosis. There are three subtypes; idiopathic PF, neonatal PF and, the most common subtype, acute infectious PF (AIPF). Acute infectious PF is related to the thrombotic subtype of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and usually is superimposed on sepsis. This can rapidly lead to multi‐organ failure from thrombotic occlusion of small and medium‐sized blood vessels. We report a case of Klebsiella‐induced AIPF in a 78‐year‐old Thai woman and also review other published cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
