Gonococcal endocarditis after a threatened abortion: A case report

Journal of Reproductive Medicine for the Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Volume 43, No. 12, Year 1998

BACKGROUND: Disseminated gonocococcal infection arising during pregnancy is an uncommon occurrence. Gonococcemia following a threatened abortion has not been documented previously. CASE: Gonococcal arthritis and endocarditis in a 22-year-old primigravida occurred following a midtrimester threatened abortion. CONCLUSION: Since gonococcemia is thought to be secondary to endocervical disruption, chemoprophylaxis in the gravid cardiac patient after a threatened abortion is recommended.
