The patient was treated one week ago for several fibroids requiring 10 ablations per the system-generated pdf.Some time after the procedure (the date is not clear), the patient presented to the treating physician's partner in the emergency room with a temp of 101.4º and a heart rate of 112 bpm.She didn't have any leukocytosis, but lactic acid was up, so they sent blood cultures and a urine culture.Blood cultures were negative.Urine culture was positive for a small quantity (1000 cfu/cc) of group b strep.Her repeat cbc 12 hrs later showed an increase in her white count from 5.7 to 11.7, along with a left shift.She was prescribed doxycycline and metronidazole and discharged home.While she was empirically treated with broad-spectrum pelvic coverage on the possibility of endometritis, there were no reports of abdominal findings or other stigmata of intrauterine infection, just a moderate fever with a slightly abnormal white blood cell count (nb: up to 11 is within normal limits, generally).
