Acute bacterial septic vasculopathy

Abstract: Nine of 32 patients were immunosuppressed. The foci of sepsis were variable; in 17 patients, the focus was not identified. Although Neisseria meningitidis was the most common causal agent, several microorganisms were identified. Cutaneous manifestations were an early event in 90.6% of patients. The most common skin signs were purpuric lesions and petechiae. Overall mortality was 28.1%; 65.5% of patients survived without sequelae. Skin biopsies showed thrombi in 100% of cases. Other common findings were inflamm… Show more

“…Septic vasculitis in the skin manifests as purpuric papules, plaques, petechiae, vesicles, bullae and pustules, which generally appear in the early stage of systemic sepsis (1,8,9). The current case presented widespread cutaneous manifestations that preceded the diagnosis of thoracic empyema symptoms by 2 weeks.…”

“…17 Septic thrombi containing microorganisms may be found in secondary infective panniculitis. 18 Epithelioid granulomas, with or without admixed neutrophils, are strongly indicative of infection when present in a background of neutrophilic panniculitis (Figure 3, D). 19 Lastly, demonstration of microorganisms on hematoxylin-eosin, tissue Gram, Grocott methenamine silver, or Fite stains, or positive microbial cultures would confirm the diagnosis.…”
