Does A Systemic Clostridium Infection Show Up With A Symptom Of Acute Acne?
Hi. I'm a research scientist, and I'm doing a query to find out if a systemic Clostridium infection could show up with a symptom of acute acne? I'm not thinking C. tetani or perfringens, but maybe a commensal organism that isn't usually associated with serious illness?
