    Author: Rebhun WC, Shin SJ, King JM, Baum KH, Patten V.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Oct 01; 187(7):732-6. PubMed ID: 4055491.
    Abstract:
    Malignant edema (clostridial myositis) was diagnosed in 9 horses with signs of illness that included fever, depression, painful muscular swellings, and toxemia. The infection followed intramuscular injections in 8 horses and developed in a puncture wound in 1 horse. Treatment consisted of surgical fenestration of the involved muscle, high doses of penicillin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents and analgesics, and supportive fluid therapy. Five horses recovered and 4 died. Those that died had advanced signs of the disease at admission.
