ABSTRACT
Meningococcal sepsis-associated purpura fulminans is a rapidly progressing condition with high morbidity and mortality. There are several reports of amputation of extremities due to gangrenous change in this condition. However, in Korean literature, we found only one case report associated with amputation of one leg due to meningococcal infection. We report a case of meningococcal infection necessitating the amputation of both legs in a previously healthy seven-year-old girl with a review of literatures.
