Gas gangrene is a life-threatening emergency. Most cases are caused by clostridial infections, but nonclostridial causes are being increasingly recognized. Nonclostridial gas gangrene is most often due to polymicrobial organisms. Early diagnosis and therapy are required, since the disease may rapidly progress to fatal toxemia. We report a case of gangrenous, atraumatic, nonclostridial myonecrosis of the arm due to Enterobacter cloacae in a nondiabetic patient with neutropenia.
气性坏疽是一种危及生命的急症。大多数病例由梭菌感染引起，但非梭菌病因正日益受到认可。非梭菌性气性坏疽最常见于多种微生物感染。由于该病可能迅速发展为致命性毒血症，因此需要早期诊断和治疗。我们报告一例非糖尿病中性粒细胞减少患者因阴沟肠杆菌导致手臂坏疽性、非创伤性、非梭菌性肌坏死的病例。
