Abstract

Abdominopelvic actinomycosis associated with the use of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is described. The diagnosis is usually made after exploratory laparotomy for severe abdominal pain and signs of an acute abdomen, or for prolonged lower abdominal pain and findings consistent with pelvic malignancy. 3 women aged 33, 44 and 52 years, respectively, are presented.
