title: [Clostridium myonecrosis as a sequelae of intramuscular injections--description of 3 fatal outcomes].
abstract: In three fatal cases of clostridial myonecrosis, the following criteria were found: repeated intramuscular injections over several years with anti-inflammatory substances, delay in diagnosis in outpatient care, and following uncontrollable systemic septic complications, despite radical surgical treatment. Only early, aggressive surgical interventions can stop the rapid course of necrotizing soft-tissue infections.
