    Author: Jackson S, Gregson DB, McFadden S, Laupland KB.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2003; 35(11-12):883-6. PubMed ID: 14723369.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of necrotizing pneumonia, empyema, and septic shock caused by Clostridium perfringens. Population-based laboratory surveillance was subsequently conducted that identified an annual incidence of invasive C. perfringens disease of 0.83 per 100,000 population with a striking age-related increased risk for acquisition.
