Abstract EN

Clostridium perfringens is a fulminant infection that affects patients with a high rate of morbidity and mortality.

Fortunately, C.

perfringens-associated sepsis and death in the gynecologic patient is rarely encountered.

We report a case of intrauterine C.

perfringens presenting as life-threatening sepsis in a postmenopausal patient.
