Intrauterin infection during the first trimester and on-going pregnancy

An intrauterine infection during the first trimester of pregnancy can rapidly lead to bacteremia, with severe consequences for the patient. While these infections are mainly found after a miscarriage or an abortion, the diagnosis is sometimes made while the pregnancy is still in progress. The clinical history and symptoms reported by the patient lead to the suspicion of such a complication. Treatment must be rapid and based on a broad-spectrum antibiotic regimen covering Gram-negative, Gram-positive, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. As soon as the treatment has been initiated, uterine curettage should be performed to remove the infected material, whether or not foetal cardiac activity is present at the time of diagnosis.
