Abstract
A negative pressure dressing to promote wound healing of purpura fulminans in a girl aged 35 days with homozygous protein C deficiency is reported. Two wounds of 11 × 11 cm at the abdominal wall and 14 × 14 cm at the left trunk were covered with sterile sponges embedded with a multiple-hole drain tube and transparent plastic film. The exposed end of the drain was then connected to the wall suction apparatus to create negative pressure at -120 mmHg. The dressing was changed every 2 days. Within 4-6 weeks, the wounds were completely healed and skin grafting was not required. © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
