    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.

    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.

    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.
