Clostridium perfringens (CP) is an infrequent cause of septicemia in neutropenic patients. We report the case of a 17 year old man treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in whom a strain of CP was isolated from blood cultures. The clinical spectrum and evolution of CP septicemia in neutropenic patients are discussed.
