Abstract
Pediatric emergency visits with purpura fulminans should raise the suspicion of hereditary homozygous protein C deficiency even beyond the neonatal age. The absence of this classical finding does not role the diagnosis out as atypical presentation with isolated intraocular bleeding was observed. Premarital counseling should be offered when family history suggests.Entities:
