Purpura fulminans is a rare but devastating haemorrhagic condition often associated with sepsis. Many different organisms have been implicated in the aetiology of purpura fulminans, most commonly Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. We report a case of purpura fulminans associated with Lactobacillus paracasei liver abscess. Purpura fulminans has not previously been associated with this organism and specific bacteriological testing was used to exclude the presence of other species.
暴发性紫癜是一种罕见但极具破坏性的出血性疾病，常与败血症相关。许多不同的病原体被认为与暴发性紫癜的病因有关，最常见的是脑膜炎奈瑟菌和肺炎链球菌。我们报告一例与副干酪乳杆菌肝脓肿相关的暴发性紫癜病例。此前暴发性紫癜未曾与该病原体相关联，我们进行了特定的细菌学检测以排除其他菌种的存在。
