ABSTRACT
We report a case of a 73 year old man who developed purpura fulminans due to Enterococcus faecalis sepsis. The patient was treated successfully with oral linezolid. Early diagnosis of the microbial etiology of purpura fulminans is important. If Enterococcus faecalis is found as the causal organism, appropriate antimicrobial therapy may be used.
