title: [Hepatic necrosis caused by Clostridium perfringens in a dog].
abstract: A case of acute hepatic necrosis in a dog is clinically and pathologically described. The occurrence of Clostridium perfringens in the liver lesions was revealed by histological examination and bacteriological isolation. Based on these findings we conclude that Clostridium perfringens is the cause of the infarcts. The case is discussed on the base of the literature.
