Herpetic endometritis after pregnancy.
A case of endometrial herpex simplex virus infection with severe uterine post-partum bleeding is reported. Histopathologic analysis of curettage samples revealed endometrial necrosis and diffuse herpes-type nuclear inclusions in the glandular epithelial cells. Immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridisation, and electron microscopy confirmed the diagnosis.
