Gardnerella Vaginalis Bacteremia in a Pregnant Woman with Vaginal Myomectomy.

BACKGROUND

This case involves a 28-year-old pregnant woman (39w+2) who was admitted to obstetrics due to abdominal tightness and bacteremia with Gardnerella vaginalis which developed after caesarean section and vaginal myomectomy.

METHODS

A blood culture was performed, and the bacteria were identified through mass spectrometry.

RESULTS

Mass spectrometry data indicated that the infection bacteria were Gardnerella vaginalis. The patient's temperature returned to normal after oral ampicillin in combination with clindamycin.

CONCLUSIONS

Gardnerella vaginalis bacteremia is very rare in clinical practice, and the combination of ampicillin and clindamycin has a good therapeutic effect. This study may provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Gardnerella vaginalis bacteremia.
