Symmetric peripheral gangrene of the lower limbs in a case of complicated falciparum malaria.

P C Bhattacharyya1, Jagdish Prasad Agarwal, M Sharma.   

Abstract

Association of symmetric peripheral gangrene (SPG) with falciparum malaria infection is a relatively uncommon clinical entity. Here we report a case of complicated falciparum malaria with SPG involving both lower limbs from the mid-calf downwards, probably due to antibody mediated vasculitis.
