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.
