Peptostreptococcus septic abortion

Peptostreptococcus septic abortion is an acute, severe pelvic infection occurring in pregnant women when retained products of conception become infected following a spontaneous miscarriage or induced abortion, complicated specifically by anaerobic Gram-positive Peptostreptococcus species Pathophysiologically, the organism—often part of the endogenous lower genital tract flora—ascends through a dilated cervix, proliferates within necrotic placental or fetal tissues, and invades the endometrium an...
