Figure Legend:
This 4-month-old white female infant presented with fever and an otherwise normal examination except for a single petechia on her hip, which the mother thought was a diaper pin injury. Over the next few hours a rapidly progressive generalized petechial rash developed resulting in several areas of cutaneous necrosis despite appropriate antibiotic administration. Neisseria meningitidis was cultured from her spinal fluid. Courtesy of Ed Fajardo, MD
