Group A Streptococcus causing a life‐threatening postpartum necrotizing myometritis: A case report
Abstract
During childbirth, group A Streptococcus (GAS) can cause a diverse spectrum of disorders ranging from asymptomatic infection to puerperal sepsis and toxic shock syndrome. We report on a healthy parturient who survived a life‐threatening necrotizing myometritis due to GAS following an unremarkable spontaneous delivery. Approximately 29 h after an unremarkable spontaneous vaginal delivery, a generally healthy 28‐year‐old multiparous woman developed a life‐threatening necrotizing myometritis due to GAS. The patient subsequently underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy. Following the surgery, she made a prompt and complete recovery. The course of this extremely rare complication might be so fulminant that the diagnosis is sometimes made after the patient cannot be saved. Clinicians should still consider GAS in life‐threatening infections occurring during the perinatal period.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
