Abstract
Sepsis is a significant non-cancer cause of death in patients with endometrial cancer, with uterine clostridial infections being particularly concerning in these patients. While Clostridium perfringens is more commonly associated with gynecologic infections, this report documents a rare case of Clostridium clostridioforme sepsis in a postmenopausal woman with undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma. The patient was admitted nine days post-biopsy with sepsis. Initial treatment included cefepime, vancomycin, and metronidazole. After identifying Clostridium clostridioforme in blood cultures, vancomycin was discontinued. As her condition worsened, treatment was switched to ampicillin/sulbactam and later vancomycin was re-added, resulting in improvement. She was discharged with oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Despite initial recovery, she was readmitted with severe complications and transitioned to comfort care and passed away. This case highlights the complexity of treating rare infections in immunocompromised patients with malignancies. The rapid progression of C. clostridioforme infection underscores the need for heightened awareness and prompt effective treatment strategies in similar clinical scenarios

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.
Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive.
Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate.
Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
