On the 12th day of hospitalization, clinical examination showed cyanosis of the toes (Figure 1(a)) and disappearance of the pulse in both feet. A few days after the start of treatment, the pain in the lower limbs vanished, the pulses were restored, cyanosis in the feet diminished (Figure 1(b)), and the platelet count and fibrinogen level both increased two days later.
