“…Enterobacteriaceae are very seldomly associated with AIPF. To date, only three cases of purpura fulminans due to Enterobacter have been reported [ 10 , 11 ]. We reviewed each case as well as our case ( Table 1 ) with patients’ ages ranging from neonates to adult.…”

Acute infectious purpura fulminans (AIPF) is a rare, life-threatening disease commonly caused by Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Gram-negative rods are rarely involved. We described a case of AIPF associated with Enterobacter bacteremia in a 48-year-old man admitted for subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment. After surgical clipping for intracranial aneurysms, septic shock, multiple organ failure, and extensive purpura on the skin developed. Enterobacter aerogenes bacteremia was detected and AIPF was diagnosed. His condition progressively worsened and he died on day 19. Autopsy showed multiple abscesses and thrombosis in the lung, intestinal tract, and kidney.

“…To the best of our knowledge, there is only one other case report of PF due to P. multocida infection 5. Other reported infectious causes for PF include Enterobacter cloacae , Staphylococcus aureus and Plasmodium falciparum malaria 7 8. Systemic leptospirosis, Capnocytophaga canimorsus and rickettsial infection are rare causes of PF reported in the literature 9–11…”

Purpura fulminans and severe sepsis due toPasteurella multocidainfection in an immunocompetent patient

A 75-year-old woman was admitted into the intensive care unit, with severe sepsis and renal failure. She developed purpura fulminans (PF) of bilateral upper and lower extremities along with gangrene on the tips of her fingers and toes. Blood cultures confirmed Pasteurella multocida as the causative organism. Despite aggressive supportive measures, the patient remained dependent on high doses of vasopressors and the gangrene progressed. She ultimately succumbed to her underlying severe sepsis. PF is a rare and fatal dermatological emergency commonly seen in children, but it also occurs in adults. Acute infectious PF occurs secondary to severe sepsis and P. multocida is a rare cause of PF. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of PF due to P. multocida in an adult.
