Coming soonBacteroides endometritis is an infectious inflammatory condition of the endometrium, the mucosal lining of the uterus, caused by anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Bacteroides* (such as *Bacteroides fragilis*).
Primarily affecting females of reproductive age, it frequently arises as a polymicrobial infection following childbirth, cesarean delivery, pregnancy termination, or instrumentation of the female upper genital tract.
It is characterized pathophysiologically by the ascending migration of endogenous cervicovaginal anaerobic flora into the uterine cavity, leading to endometrial tissue invasion, neutrophil infiltration, and localized necrosis.
Clinically, affected patients present with fever, lower abdominal or pelvic pain, uterine fundal tenderness, and purulent or foul-smelling lochia.
