title: Symmetric peripheral gangrene and falciparum malaria.
abstract: Sudden onset symmetric peripheral gangrene (SPG) is a relatively uncommon clinical entity manifested by distal ischemic damage at two or more sites in the absence of large vessel obstruction. Here we report a case of complicated falciparum malaria with rapid onset SPG involving all the toes.
