  ABSTRACT: Septic abortions usually result from intrauterine maneuvers using non-sterile instruments or materials; they are much more common when abortion is illegal. We report the clinical case of a 28-year-old patient following a complicated abortion of endometritis and bilateral abscess of the shoulders, requiring surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy. The bacterium identified was Escherichia coli, sensitive to ceftriaxone.
