What Are the Histopathological Features of Clostridium Perfringens Infection?
Infection with Clostridium perfringens can lead to several distinct histopathological features. In cases of gas gangrene, which is a severe soft tissue infection, you may observe extensive tissue necrosis, presence of gas bubbles within tissues, and a marked inflammatory response. The bacteria produce toxins that cause rapid tissue destruction and can be seen infiltrating the necrotic tissue.
