Idiopathic purpura fulminans associated with anti-protein S antibodies in children: a multicenter case series and systematic review

Key Points IPF has a typical clinical presentation with involvement of the lower limbs corresponding to vascular territories. The antithrombin level and platelet count at diagnosis seemed to be associated with severe complications in IPF.
