The histology of the local muscle lesion in gas-gangrene in man has been compared with the changes occurring in human muscle in vitro as the result of the action of Cl. welchii type A filtrate and are considered to be morphologically identical, save for the absence of oedema or gas formation. An attempt has been made to analyse these changes in terms of the action of the enzymes known or suspected to be present in the filtrate, and it appears that the alterations are due to effects on-cell membranes, cell nuclei, collagen and reticulin, and mucoproteins, and that the myofibril is unaffected. The lack of cellular reaction is not due primarily to the ischsemia but to the cytolytic action of the filtrate, and since these changes can be inhibited by antitoxin it is suggested that local injection of antitoxin might be used where it has proved impossible to perform an adequate surgical excision of the affected tissue.This paper is merely a more detailed histological confirmation of the observations of Macfarlane, and MacLennan, and had it not been for their germinal idea and ready collaboration and advice could not have been written. I would wish to thank Mr. R. E. Duffett for the care he showed in preparing the sections and Mr. B. Amos for the preparation of the enzyme solutions. The Cl. wdchii filtrate and antitoxin were kindly provided by Dr. JW Trevan of the Wellcome
