Abstract
Clostridia are the main cause of nontraumatic spontaneous gas gangrene. Poor blood flow due to arterial occlusion exacerbates the anaerobic condition. Fulminant gas gangrene in a 54-year-old man with atherosclerosis obliterans was treated by revascularization of the iliac artery using endarterectomy, and his gangrenous lower leg was amputated. However, he died from renal failure.Entities:
