    Abdominal pain and fever post-abortion typically suggest incomplete abortion or endometritis. However, acute appendicitis can mimic these symptoms, requiring broader diagnostic considerations.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Post-abortion symptoms like fever and abdominal pain commonly indicate incomplete abortion or endometritis.
    • Standard gynecologic differential diagnoses for these symptoms are well-established.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented of a woman experiencing acute suppurative appendicitis one week after an uncomplicated elective abortion.
    • Her symptoms of fever, nausea, vomiting, and pain were not responsive to standard treatment doses.

    Findings:

    • Acute appendicitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with persistent or severe post-abortion symptoms.
    • This condition can mimic common gynecologic complications.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should broaden their differential diagnoses for post-abortion symptoms beyond typical gynecologic causes.
    • Considering surgical emergencies like appendicitis can lead to timely and appropriate patient management.
    • This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach in gynecologic and early post-operative care.
