Acquired Factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is a rare condition often associated with underlying medical conditions or medications. We present a case of a 23-year-old male, who presented with prolonged bleeding from a traumatic ulcer site on his left leg. Initial laboratory investigations revealed a severe deficiency in FXIII activity (30%) and antigen levels (25%), with no evidence of congenital disorders or other underlying pathologies.

Background: Acute infectious purpura fulminans (AIPF) is a rare but potentially fatal postoperative complication characterised by rapidly progressing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), widespread purpura, and multi-organ dysfunction. Despite its severe and critical outcomes, the literature on this condition in the postoperative context is limited.
Objectives: This study aimed to analyse and evaluate the incidence, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, management strategies, and outcomes of postoperative AIPF in patients who underwent various surgical procedures.

There have been numerous changes in resuscitation strategies for severely injured patients over the last several decades. Certain strategies, such as aggressive crystalloid resuscitation, have largely been abandoned because of the high incidence of complications and worsening of trauma-induced coagulopathy.
