Coming soon*Fusobacterium* endometritis is an infectious inflammatory condition of the endometrium caused by anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Fusobacterium* (most commonly *Fusobacterium necrophorum* or *Fusobacterium nucleatum*).
Primarily affecting women of reproductive age—often presenting postpartum, post-abortion, or following intrauterine instrumentation—it typically arises from ascending infection from the lower genital tract or, less commonly, hematogenous dissemination.
Clinically and pathophysiologically, it is characterized by purulent intrauterine inflammation, fever, lower abdominal pain, uterine tenderness, and foul-smelling lochia or discharge.
Due to the potent endotoxins and thrombogenic virulence factors characteristic of *Fusobacterium* species, severe cases carry a risk of extensive tissue necrosis, pelvic thrombophlebitis, or invasive septic sequelae such as pelvic Lemierre-like syndrome.
