Abstract
A six-year old boy presented with dry gangrene of toes and fingers with hypertension with no other systemic abnormalities. He had persistently high inflammatory parameters, was diagnosed as childhood classic polyarteritis nodosa and showed improvement with immunosuppressants along with antihypertensives. Toe gangrene required amputation in view of superadded infection.
