TORRES-MORCILLO, C; GARCIA-ANAYA, MP y RODRIGUEZ-CASARES, J. Tubo-ovarian abscess due to granulicatella adiacens. A review of a case. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2022, vol.78, n.2, pp.95-97. Epub 20-Ene-2023. ISSN 1887-8571. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-85712022000200007.
Most tubo-ovarian abscesses are due to complications associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. However, a minority are second-ary to other processes such as neoplasms or intraabdominal pathologies. A case of tubo-ovarian abscess is presented, in a 36-year-old woman, previously operated on for appendectomy. Granulicatella adiacens, a microorganism not usually involved in this type of infection, grew in the culture of the drainage material of the abscess. After the description of the case, the etiology of the tubo-ovarian abscesses and the peculiarities of the microorganism involved are discussed.
