The Unusual Presence of Gas From a Puncture Wound: A Case Report

Abstract:
The presence of gas within soft tissues as suggested by plain film radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging is usually sufficient evidence for a gas-producing bacterial infection. A thorough clinical examination and history and tissue culture are necessary to better determine the source of the gas. However, despite the unremarkable physical examination findings, the present case of a plantar puncture wound rapidly developed gas in the tissues and warranted surgical exploration and repair. Delaying treatment in any case of potential gas gangrene can be limb- and life-threatening. Only later was it revealed by the patient's husband that the wound might have been contaminated soon after the injury from a source other than the puncture, which led to the early presentation of gas on the imaging studies.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
