Non-traumatic Clostridial myonecrosis.
GAS GANGRENE is defined as an invasive anaerobic infection of muscle, which is characterised by massive tissue death and by variable degrees of gas production. It is caused by the following organisms of the Clostridial group: C. perfringens (welchii), C. novyi (oedematiens), C. septicum (feseri), C. fallax, C. bifermentans and C. histolyticum.

متن کاملAvoidance of total abdominal wall loss despite torso soft tissue clostridial myonecrosis: a case report
INTRODUCTION Clostridial necrotizing soft tissue infections are often fatal. Myonecrosis of the torso is a particularly lethal combination given the classic need for radical debridement of the abdominal and thoracic walls, and therefore total exposure of the intraperitoneal and intrathoracic viscera. This case is unusual do to our ability to preserve anatomical separation between the viscera an...
متن کاملThe Relationship of Toxic Fractions of a Filtrate of Clostridium Perfringens Type a to the Pathogenesis of Clostridial Myonecrosis
A crude filtrate from a culture of Clostridium perfringens, type A, was fractionated by a heavy metal-alcohol technique, and some degree of concentration of biologically active factors was achieved. Both the crude material and the fractions obtained were characterized in terms of their alpha toxin, theta toxin, hyaluronidase, and collagenase activities. The filtrate and fractions were tested fo...
