| [gas gangrene: an extreme surgico-medical rather than medico-surgical emergency]. | a diabetic woman developed spontaneous gas gangrene of upper limb extending into trunk and due to clostridium septicum. recovery was obtained after major surgery involving disarticulation of upper limb and excision of soft tissues of left hemithorax, and a difficult intensive care programme (hyperbaric oxygen therapy, assisted ventilation). the presence of this gas gangrene revealed a bipolar colon cancer treated in parallel. the conventional therapeutic hierarchy is discussed: surgery should be ... | 1987 | 3584286 |

| endogenous clostridium panophthalmitis. | acute visual loss, pain, and redness in the left eye developed in a 61-year-old diabetic man. results of ophthalmologic examination showed 4+ conjunctival hyperemia and chemosis, no light perception, and restricted ocular motility. through a hazy cornea, a gas bubble was visualized filling about 50% of the anterior chamber. a vitreous tap disclosed myriad gram-positive rods with terminal and subterminal spores. cultures of the vitreous grew clostridium septicum, a gas-forming organism. explorato ... | 1987 | 3587922 |

| imipenem/cilastatin therapy of bacteremia. | imipenem/cilastatin was used to treat 135 patients with bacteremia and signs of infection. ninety percent responded favorably. the bacteriologic eradication rate was 98 percent among the 153 isolates. only one patient had breakthrough bacteremia and this was a susceptible clostridium septicum. in two isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa, emergence of resistance to imipenem during therapy was noted and appeared to be responsible for clinical failure. superinfection occurred in 13 patients and was r ... | 1985 | 3859221 |

| [significance of clostridium septicum as a cause of gas edema]. | gas gangrene caused by clostridium septicum is relatively rare. in this paper 15 cases are described observed within the last 5 years. in 3 cases the gas gangrene was acquired exogenously. the other cases were endogenous infections. 9 of these cases were associated with colon carcinoma. c. septicum gas gangrene has a high lethality rate: 11 of the 15 patients died from the infection. | 1985 | 3884489 |
| metastatic nontraumatic clostridium septicum osteomyelitis. | nontraumatic clostridial infections are rare, but need to be diagnosed and treated early or high morbidity and mortality rates result. we believe that this is the first reported case of metastatic nontraumatic clostridium septicum osteomyelitis. early treatment with surgical debridement and parenteral antibiotics without hyperbaric oxygen was used. an associated occult rectal malignancy was discovered and treated. | 1985 | 3980945 |

| comparative in vitro activity of cefbuperazone against anaerobic bacteria isolated from community hospitals. | the activity of cefbuperazone against 266 strains of anaerobic bacteria was determined by the agar dilution method and compared with cefoxitin, moxalactam, piperacillin, and clindamycin. all strains were recent clinical isolates from community hospitals. all agents tested showed good activity against bacteroides fragilis, fusobacterium spp., propionibacterium spp., clostridium septicum, clostridium perfringens, and the anaerobic, gram-positive cocci and gram-negative cocci. cefbuperazone, cefoxi ... | 1985 | 3985600 |
| sialidase activity in the sera of patients and rabbits with clostridial myonecrosis. | the origin and nature of gas gangrene can be diagnosed exactly only by time-consuming bacteriological tests. in order to improve the diagnostic procedures, rabbits were infected with strains of clostridium perfringens, clostridium septicum or clostridium sordellii. sialidase activity was found to increase rapidly in serum; elevated creatine kinase activities were observed, too. high sialidase concentrations were found in sera (up to 1.6 mu/ml) and in tissues of wounded regions (up to 110 mu/g) o ... | 1985 | 3987045 |
| clostridium septicum septicemia with identical metastatic myonecroses in a granulocytopenic patient. infectious disease emergency. | 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. | 1985 | 4025378 |
