    Author: Devi R U, Bharathi S M, Kawankar N.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2016 Nov 15; 53(11):1019-1021. PubMed ID: 27889735.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Neonatal purpura fulminans due to congenital protein C deficiency is a rare disorder. CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A four-day-old neonate presented with multiple necrotic skin lesions with abnormal coagulation profile. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: Skin lesions responded to repeated plasma transfusions but the neonate developed bilateral retinal detachment. A novel homozygous PROC gene mutation was noted in the neonate. MESSAGE: Molecular diagnosis and prenatal counseling in neonatal purpura fulminans are vital considering the poor outcome.
