Acute: Gp. B strep

Chronic: retained placenta or an intrauterine devide (Actinomyces infection)
Diagnosing chronic endometritis
Need plasma cells on biopsy
Endometriosis
Non-neoplastic endometrial glands and stroma in abnormal locations.

They bleed cyclically, resulting in blood filled "chocalate-cysts"
