Clostridium perfringens bacteremia is an uncommon yet serious clinical syndrome
that typically arises from a gastrointestinal source. However, clinicians should
consider nongastrointestinal sources as well. We present a rare case of C.
perfringens bacteremia of urinary origin that required surgical intervention for
definitive treatment. A 61-year-old male presented with acute nausea and
vomiting, altered mental status, and chronic diarrhea. His physical exam revealed
right costovertebral tenderness and his laboratory work-up revealed acute renal
failure. Percutaneous blood cultures grew C. perfringens. Cross-sectional imaging
revealed a right-sided ureteral stone with hydronephrosis, which required
nephrostomy placement. On placement of the nephrostomy tube, purulent drainage
was identified and Gram stain of the drainage revealed Gram-variable rods. A
urinary source of C. perfringens was clinically supported. Although it is not a
common presentation, nongastrointestinal sources such as a urinary source should
be considered in C. perfringens bacteremia because failure to recognize a
nongastrointestinal source can delay appropriate treatment, which may include
surgical intervention.
