title: [Intrauterine gas gangrene in the 37th week of pregnancy].
abstract: A report is given on an infection of intrauterine gas gangrene of stage 2 according to Dieminger (Tumpania uteri) in the 37th week of pregnancy which turned out well. The clinical progress of gas gangrene is discussed. The abstention from a caesarian section by reason of indication of the child with suspicion of a severe intrauterine infection, the vaginal delivery which was forced subsequently, the prevailingly prophylactic administration of antibiotics, and the largely initiated infusion and transfusion therapy have in a high degree determined the positive end of the disease. The intensive observation of the woman in labor, who at first had only been clinically conspicuous, led to an early recognition of toxic symptoms, so that an aimed intensive therapy could be carried out.
