Septic abortion due to *Porphyromonas* is a severe, life-threatening infection of the placenta, fetus, and decidua occurring in the setting of a spontaneous or induced abortion, specifically caused or co-driven by anaerobic, gram-negative bacilli of the *Porphyromonas* genus Pathophysiologically, the organism ascends from the lower genital tract—or occasionally disseminates hematogenously from extragenital sites—leading to endomyometritis, tissue necrosis of retained products of conception, and ...

Affecting pregnant or recently pregnant females, the condition involves the female upper reproductive tract and can rapidly progress to systemic illness Defining clinical features include fever, pelvic pain, uterine tenderness, and foul-smelling vaginal discharge or hemorrhage, with a high risk of rapid deterioration into bacteremia, pelvic peritonitis, septic shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation if unmanaged
