- W187897690 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.3 cases of IUD-related abdominopelvic actinomycosis diagnosed after surgery are described. A 44-year old woman was admitted with high fever and diffused, strong abdominal pain. She had had an IUD for 4 years. Hypersensitivity all over the pelvis, an enlarged uterus, and peritoneal irritation were found upon vaginal examination. Opening the peritoneum yielded 1 liter of pus, a 6 cm diameter abscess of the right adnexa, and a myomatous uterus in 12 weeks of gestation. The uterus and the right adnexa were removed. Histology confirmed actinomycosis. Penicillin was given iv for 6 weeks, and after release she took oral penicillin for 4 more months. A 33-year old woman was admitted with high fever and excruciating pain in the lower right abdomen that had lasted on and off for months. She had had an IUD for 3 years. Vaginal examination revealed a hypersensitive uterus. enlarged right adnexa, and a firm mass between the vagina and the rectal shelf. Surgery showed the omentum attached to the sigmoid colon and the right fallopian tube with an abscess of 5 cm with cysts. The growth was resected, and the cysts were opened. She received iv erythromycin for 3 weeks and then orally for 2 months leading to full recovery. A 52-year old woman was hospitalized for hysterectomy. She had had abdominal pain radiating to the back for 1 year. She had had an IUD for 15 years. A myomatous uterus in 15 weeks of gestation was detected. Surgery revealed a 15 cm size myomatous uterus with an abscess of 6 cm around it. The uterus, the left adnexa, and the abscess were resected. Histology indicated actinomycosis. She received iv ampicillin for 1 month, and scar tissue from the abscess was treated with oral penicillin for 1 month. Cervical actinomycosis was found in 1-30% of women wearing IUDs. Diagnosis requires histopathological examination. The symptomless presence of cervical actinomycosis may require the temporary removal of the IUD and antibiotic treatment." @default.
