Abstract
We report three cases of localized thrombotic purpura that appeared during the convalescence phase of common chickenpox. This rare complication is characterized by localized symmetric ecchymotic purpura often affecting the lower limbs and often accompanied with signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation. In two cases we found transient protein S deficiency.
