[A case of septic necrobiosis in leiomyoma of the uterus in the postpartum period. Clinical, echographic and x-ray computed tomography study].
The authors report a case of septic necrobiosis of leiomyoma uteri the first signs of which were seen at the eighth day after childbirth. After several episodes of discharge of Proteus into the blood, separated by a period of apparent resolution, the disorder was only resolved by hysterectomy carried out upon the request of intensive care staff, despite the desire of the patient for subsequent pregnancies. Bacteriological examination of the necrobiotic myoma showed the presence of Proteus morgani, the antibiotic resistance characteristics of which were the same as those of the Proteus seen in the blood.
