[Lethal courses of gas gangrene infections in autopsy cases (author's transl)].
15 cases of lethal gas gangrene infections were found in 15,024 autopsies from 1970 to 1975. The infection mode via gastro-intestinal tract is very likely in two thirds of the cases. In particular tumor diseases of intestine are able to yield these base for gas gangrene infection by infiltration of the muscular system in the abdomen.
