RESUMO
This paper reports a case of clostridial myonecrosis (gas gangrene) which occurred in a vegetable gardener receiving immunosuppression therapy with prednisolone and azathioprine for renal allograft preservation. The infection developed after the excision of crusted squamous-cell carcinomata from the dorsum of the hand, the circulation of which was compromised by the presence of a radial artery/cephalic vein arteriovenous fistula. Amputation, followed by treatment with hyperbaric oxygen, was successful.
