摘要
We report an 81-year-old female with a heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation who developed purpura fulminans. Digital necrosis, a characteristic clinical feature of purpura fulminans was prominent. Purpura fulminans is more common in children and adult, cases are rare. Of eight reported cases of purpura fulminans resulting from a heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation recorded in the literature, only two were in adults: 40 and 42 years of age, respectively. This is the first report of this condition arising in a patient in her eighties.
