ABSTRACT
We report a case of resolutive bacteraemia due to Clostridium perfringens in an olderly patient with no predisposing factors or portal of entry. The patient presented a non specific infectious syndrome high level CRP and fever; and was hospitalized for ischemic cardiopathy. Three cultures of peripheral blood have shown a growth in the first anaerobe one only, confirmed by the presence of Gram positive rods. Biochemical profile of the strain Api 20A [BioMerieux] allowed the identification of Clostridium perfringens at 99, 9%. The evolution under amoxicillin-clavulanic acid introduced before the second and the third blood culture permits a total recovering and disappearance of fever and pathologic levels of CRP
