The classic fulminating, rapidly progressive, and potentially lethal clostridial myonecrosis (CM), also known as gas gangrene, is a familiar entity. Nevertheless, individual experience with this dreaded disease is extremely rare or nonexistent. Clostridial cellulitis does not involve muscle necrosis and is associated with a lower mortality rate. Although still potentially limb threatening, clostridial cellulitis is a source of considerable morbidity. In a 13-year-old boy the symptoms did not appear until two weeks postoperatively. Definitive treatment was not instituted until five days later.
典型的暴发性、快速进展且可能致命的梭菌性肌坏死（CM），也称为气性坏疽，是一种为人熟知的病症。然而，个人遇到这种可怕疾病的经历极其罕见或根本不存在。梭菌性蜂窝织炎不涉及肌肉坏死，死亡率较低。虽然仍可能威胁肢体，但梭菌性蜂窝织炎是相当大发病率的一个来源。在一名13岁男孩中，症状直到术后两周才出现。直到五天后才开始进行确定性治疗。
