Symmetrical Peripheral Gangrene after Pulmonary Hemorrhage
2010
Symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) is characterized by distal ischemic damage in two or more extremities without a large vessel obstruction. This syndrome is associated with low cardiac output, sepsis, malignancy, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and the administration of vasoactive drugs. We report a case of SPG in a patient with pulmonary hemorrhage, sepsis and DIC who had been administered dopamine.
