RESUMO
Clostridium perfringens sepsis with hemolysis following cholecystectomy is a rare complication that has a very high mortality. The best chance for survival is ensured by early diagnosis, prompt initiation of antibiotics, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy if readily available. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
