Management
- blood cultures, high vaginal swab, endocervical swab - often low-grade infection is due to chlamydia infection
- empirical treatment with antibiotics e.g. doxycycline 100mg/d PO and metronidazole 400mg tds PO
- a pyometra requires drainage and the treatment of cause
Puerperal pyrexia secondary to endometritis may require uterine curettage and treatment with intravenous antibiotics e.g. cephalexin and metronidazole.
