Cаse Study 2: This 63-yeаr-оld аlcоhоlic was taken to the emergency room of an outside hospital with obvious gangrene of both feet. He was stuporous. During that evening, he had a seizure and was treated with phenytoin and barbiturates. By the night of transfer he was noted to have opisthotonic posturing and to have developed increasing respiratory distress and unresponsiveness. On examination, he had a temperature of 41.7°C rectally, a blood pressure of 70/30 mmHg, a heart rate of 110 beats/min, and a respiratory rate of 40/min. Examination was notable for marked trismus. The neck was stiff and hyperextended. Necrotic, blackened areas were present over both feet and several draining ulcers were noted on the heels and toes. Neurologically the patient responded to deep pain with a grimace. On the basis of these findings, specific therapy, in addition to supportive care, was initiated, and the patient ultimately recovered.

Cаse Study 2: An 85-yeаr-оld mаle is admitted tо the emergency rоom of a New York City hospital suffering from breathing difficulties and coughing. He had a high fever, cough, and chest pain. He had presented to his local physician 3 days previously complaining of fever, headache, malaise, and vague respiratory symptoms. A year ago he moved into a long-term care facility after his wife died and he has been suffering from type two diabetes for the last thirty years. They collected sputum for culture and sensitivity. A gram stain indicated the presence of many white blood cells and pleomorphic gram-negative coccobacilli. An additional urine specimen was then collected and sent to a reference laboratory to confirm the diagnosis.
