Coming soonStreptococcal endometritis is an acute bacterial infection of the inner lining of the uterus caused by species of the genus *Streptococcus*, most notably *Streptococcus agalactiae* (Group B *Streptococcus*) and *Streptococcus pyogenes* (Group A *Streptococcus*).
It primarily affects obstetric patients in the postpartum or postabortal period following the ascending migration of bacteria through a dilated cervix and disrupted mucosal barriers.
Clinically, it is characterized by the rapid onset of high fever, marked uterine and pelvic tenderness, lower abdominal pain, and abnormal or foul-smelling lochia.
Infections caused by Group A streptococci are particularly virulent and can rapidly progress to severe invasive disease, including bacteremia, pelvic thrombophlebitis, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and maternal sepsis.
