Clostridial Organisms in Septic Abortions

Report of 7 Cases

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.

Abstract

The culture of clostridial organisms from the cervix of a patient with septic abortion may not be of significance. This was true in the 7 patients reported, who were well recovered by the time the laboratory report of such a Clostridium-positive culture was known. The growth of clostridial organisms in the cervical culture of a woman with septic abortion is not of itself an indication for hysterectomy.
