- Title:
- Gangrene, Toes
- Description:
- This patient was photographed in Guatemala, Central America, exhibiting a condition known as typhus gangrene of the right foot, which was determined to be due to a case of typhus fever, also referred to as epidemic louse-borne typhus caused by the bacterium, Rickettsia prowazekii. Note how the toes, and the lateral border of the foot’s plantar surface, had developed a blackened coloration, indicative of tissue necrosis, or gangrene.

- Title:
- Gangrene, Fingers
- Description:
- This photograph depicted the left hand of a plague victim, which displayed areas of gangrene, especially in the distal fingertips and thumb, which had been due to a systemically disseminated plague infection, caused by the bacterium, Yersinia pestis. The dissemination of Y. pestis bacteria, predisposes plague patients to abnormal coagulation within the blood vessels of the distal extremities, including the eventual sloughing of the dead skin.

- Title:
- Gangrene, Thigh
- Description:
- This image depicts the right thigh of a patient who had undergone a previous amputation, and had to undergo a reamputation on the same leg, though at a higher level than the initial excision. This was due to the development of gas gangrene in the tissues more proximal than the first amputation level.

- Title:
- Gangrene, Extremities
- Description:
- Captured in a clinical setting, this image depicts a 4-month old female with gangrene of her extremities due to an infection known as meningococcemia, caused by the bacterium, Neisseria meningitidis. This infection causes arterial occlusions, which in turn, cause ischemic insults to develop with ensuing gangrene of the affected body regions.

- Title:
- Pitting edema, Feet
- Description:
- This late 1960s photograph depicts the swollen feet, also known as “pedal edema”, of a Nigerian child, (see also PHIL ID# 6901), who is suffering from kwashiorkor, a disease brought on due to a severe dietary protein deficiency. The feet of this child reveal pitting edema, which occurs as a result of pressure applied by an examiner’s fingertips upon the skin, causing an indentation in the swollen, fluid filled skin that persists for a long period of time after the release of the pressure; note the pressure points in both feet of this child.
