Clostridium perfringens bacteremia is rare but often fatal. In particular, once bacteremia with massive intravascular hemolysis (MIH) occurs, the mortality rate is extremely high. However, because of its rarity, the detailed pathophysiology of this fulminant form of bacteremia is unclear. To elucidate the detailed pathogenesis of MIH, we retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients with C. perfringens bacteremia from two university hospitals from 2000 to 2014. The medical records and laboratory data of 60 patients with bacteremia, including 6 patients with MIH and 54 patients without MIH, were analyzed. Patients with MIH had higher rates of intense pain at onset, impaired consciousness, shock at presentation, hematuria, metabolic acidosis, and gas formation than patients without MIH. The antibiotic susceptibility of the clinical isolates was not significantly different between the two groups. All patients with MIH, although treated with appropriate antimicrobial agents, died within 26 h of admission due to rapidly progressive acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome, and the median time from arrival at the hospital to death was only 4 h and 20 min. When clinicians observe intravascular hemolysis in blood samples from patients with characteristic symptoms of MIH, they should prepare for a severe disease outcome. The underlying pathophysiology of fulminant cases must be investigated.
