Abstract

Background: Increasing reports of intrauterine device (IUD)-related abdominopelvic actinomycosis have been described recently. Surgical therapy has been the usual treatment when tubo-ovarian abscess is identified. Case: A 38-year-old woman suffering from Actinomyces pelvic abscess unresponsive to medical treatment underwent transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration. It resulted in marked improvement and avoided surgical treatment. Conclusion: Transvaginal needle aspiration of Actinomyces pelvic abscess may be an alternative to surgical therapy, thereby allowing the preservation of pelvic organs. Infect. Dis. Obstet. Gynecol. 4:298-300, 1996.
