Abstract

Extremity pain is a common complaint in adolescents. Pain out of proportion to examination findings should raise suspicion of deep tissue infection. Clostridial myonecrosis is a rapidly progressive disease consisting of muscle necrosis and systemic toxicity. It is usually seen in elderly and immunocompromised patients. Here we report a case of clostridial myonecrosis in an adolescent male.
