title: An unusual cause of persistent postpartum vaginal discharge.
abstract: We describe the case of a 27-year-old woman with a three-month history of persistent green vaginal discharge following vaginal delivery of her first child. Group C β-haemolytic streptococcus was ultimately isolated, which appears to be an uncommon cause of this clinical presentation.
