The influence of IUGR treatment on oxidative stress indices

Abstract

Conclusion: This report continues to demonstrate fatal outcomes associated with Clostridial sepsis, particularly in patients with an underlying gynaecological malignancy. These two cases occurred within a few months of each other and show many similarities. This highlights that Clostridial sepsis leading to myometrial necrosis should be more readily considered in patients presenting with a probable gynaecological malignancy and pyrexia. Unfortunately both of these cases ended with the patients' death however cases in the literature have reported patient recovery following early surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment. These illustrate that prompt diagnosis can allow for appropriate management and counselling for the patients and relatives.
