Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause postpartum endometritis. The clinical diagnosis of HSV endometritis has been reported previously. The disease is responsive to acyclovir intravenously.
CASE: A 22-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, status post primary cesarean section for a double footling breech presentation, developed a persistent postpartum fever. Simulating the febrile course of septic pelvic thrombophlebitis, the patient's condition was unresponsive to broad-spectrum antimicrobials and heparin therapy. Active herpetic lesions and a positive cervical culture for herpes simplex prompted the use of intravenous acyclovir. Rapid resolution of the fever and the similarity to previous case reports suggested the clinical diagnosis of herpes simplex endometritis.
CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of postpartum herpes simplex endometritis should be considered when managing a persistent postpartum fever unresponsive to aggressive antimicrobial and heparin therapy. Immediate resolution of the fever should occur with the use of acyclovir.
