| description | Maternal sepsis accounts for 13% of U.S. maternal deaths, with an estimated 2.2 deaths per 100 000 live births. Early identification and treatment are critical in sepsis. Maternal sepsis is often a polymicrobial condition. Common causative agents include Escherichia coli, Group B Streptococcus, anaerobes, and Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a rare cause of pyelonephritis-associated sepsis in immunocompetent patients and is especially uncommon during pregnancy. Only a handful of cases are reported in the literature, with only 2 cases associated with pregnancy. The case being presented describes an adolescent gravid patient who was diagnosed with pyelonephritis-associated sepsis caused by S saprophyticus. |
