Leptotrichia amnionii found in septic abortion in Denmark.
Leptotrichia amnionii was first described in 2002 in the USA. Only few cases have been reported to date, 3 in pregnant women and 2 in non-pregnant women. We present the first case of L. amnionii in Scandinavia, found in a woman with spontaneous second trimester septic abortion.
