Fatal multifocal metastasis of Clostridium septicum: a case report.

H Tehrani1, P H Gillespie, G C Cormack.   

Abstract

Clostridium septicum infection produces rapidly spreading tissue necrosis, often, but not exclusively, associated with trauma or large bowel malignancy. We present a unique case of atraumatic infection leading to multifocal metastatic spread in a neutropenic patient, emphasising the devastating potential of this disease.
