Clostridium perfringens Ubiquitous, gram pos. spore forming rod Obligate anaerobe Synergistic α (Phospholipase C) and θ (Perfringolysin O) toxins

Clostridial Sepsis Simon, T. et. al, Journal of Intensive Care Medicine 2013 Mortality: 74% Median time to death of 9.6 hours TREATMENT Penicillin 3-4 million units IV q4h Clindamycin 600mg IV q6h Surgical Debridement Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Historically used in treatment of Gas Gangrene Prior to this case, has been used 4 times for Clostridial septicemia. 0% Mortality in patients treated with HBOT in addition to standard therapies.

Back to the Case The pt was treated with 8 sessions of HBOT Course was complicated only by otic barotrauma The pt was discharged 2 ½ weeks following admission on OPAT and 3x/week hemodialysis Continues to improve despite the historically poor prognosis of this virulent condition.
