| Abstract: | Clostridium septicum is a gram-positive, sporulating spindle-shaped rod. Gas gangrene secondary to trauma is not uncommon. However, nontraumatic clostridial infection causing myonecrosis is quite unusual. This is a unique case report of Clostridium septicum bacteremia with two simultaneously evolving metastatic foci of myonecrosis of the left arm and right thigh that developed in a patient with lymphoma when he became granulocytopenic during his hospital course. |
