The phrase "gas gangrene" refers to a necrotizing skin and soft tissue infection caused by gas-forming microbes. This form of illness is rarely found outside of combat zones in the modern period. Patients frequently present with sepsis, shock, or organ failure. Gas gangrene has a significant death rate if treatment is not started right once, thus early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are essential. In most cases, radical surgical treatment is required.
