Abstract

Clostridial uterine infections and bacteraemia are of a rare occurrence, especially in the absence of risk factors. However, when encountered, they can carry significant morbidity and mortality rates. We present a rare case of C. perfringens bacteraemia in the immediate postpartum period of a noncomplicated vaginal delivery. Prompt diagnosis and early initiation of treatment were imperative for ensuring a safe recovery of the patient. Despite the fact that bacteraemia caused by C. perfringens is an infrequent event in the uneventful postpartum phase, maintaining vigilance for the potential occurrence of such an event allows for early detection and timely administration of antibiotics and resuscitative measures.

正常阴道分娩后的产气荚膜梭状芽孢杆菌菌血症。
梭状芽孢杆菌子宫感染和菌血症很少发生,尤其是在没有危险因素的情况下。然而,一旦发生,其发病率和死亡率都很高。我们介绍了一例罕见的非顺产阴道分娩产后即刻发生的产气荚膜杆菌菌血症病例。及时诊断和早期治疗是确保患者安全康复的当务之急。尽管由产气荚膜杆菌引起的菌血症在顺利分娩的产后阶段并不常见,但对可能发生的此类事件保持警惕,就能及早发现并及时使用抗生素和采取抢救措施。
