Clostridium sordellii is an infrequent human pathogen. It has been demonstrated to be occasionally responsible for myonecrosis or gas gangrene. Interestingly, in the obstetric literature, some cases of postpartum maternal deaths have been associated with C sordellii infection causing a rapidly lethal toxin mediated syndrome. This is the first reported case of postpartum death in a 29 year old woman, in which a toxigenic C sordellii was isolated from the patient's blood antemortem during the fatal toxic shock, strongly indicating its role in this rare syndrome.
索氏梭菌是一种不常见的人类病原体。已证明它偶尔会导致肌坏死或气性坏疽。有趣的是,在产科文献中,一些产后孕产妇死亡病例与索氏梭菌感染有关,可导致一种迅速致命的毒素介导综合征。这是首例报道的29岁女性产后死亡病例,在致命性中毒性休克期间从患者生前血液中分离出产毒素索氏梭菌,有力地表明了其在这种罕见综合征中的作用。
