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.
