Group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome after an office endometrial biopsy: a case report.
Endometrial biopsy is a common office procedure and is relatively free of serious complications. ⋯ Since the 1980s, an increase in severe infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes led to the definition of group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. This appears to be the first report of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome occurring after an endometrial biopsy.
