We describe the first case of bacteremia due to Actinomyces urogenitalis. Bacteremia was secondary to a tubo-ovarian abscess following transvaginal oocyte retrieval. Identification was established by matrix-assisted desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A. urogenitalis should be considered as a potential causative agent of infection after gynecological procedures. CASE REPORT

“…Injury to blood vessels and haemoperitoneum, trauma to the pelvic organ infection, exacerbation of pelvic inflammatory disease, abscess of endometriomas etc. 5 A few possible explanations are about formation of an ovarian abscess in chocolate cyst. Firstly, blood acts as favourable culture media for various pathogens specially altered menstrual blood, which is found to be collected in the cystic ovarian spaces.…”

We are reporting a rare case of ovarian abscess in an endometrioma following ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval during in vitro fertilization technique. Ovarian abscess within an endometrioma is a rare gynaecological problem. We are presenting a case of a giant abscess formation in an endometrioma following in vitro fertilization in a 36-year-old woman in view of secondary infertility. She presented with high grade fever with chills and rigor for more than 2 months associated with pain in abdomen with a progressively increasing lower abdominal mass. Patient was treated at a tertiary care hospital with multidisciplinary approach. Laparotomy was performed, and two litres of the foul-smelling pus was drained, followed by bilateral salpingooophorectomy. Uterus was left in situ to preserve her future fertility potential. Histology of the specimen confirmed endometriotic nature of the cyst. Pus on culture sensitivity was sterile. Patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the 7th post-operative day. In our case endometrioma presented as failure of in vitro fertilization technique followed by a medical illness. This case highlights that endometrioma became not only a cause of failure of in vitro fertilization technique but also presented as a medical illness and should be dealt as one.

Background: Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome is an iatrogenic serious complication that presents after human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation or after the spontaneous peak of luteizing hormone. Pelvic inflammatory disease following the in vitro fertilization and oocyte retrieval is a rare and infrequent complication. Tubo-ovarian abscess has been described as rare and significant complication .We present an uncommon case according the literature in which rare complications of IVF are described. Methods:We present a case of a 35 year old female patient, gravida 1, para 0 with history of in vitro fertilization short protocol and oocytes retrieval before a month ,attended our hospital complaining for deep abdominal pain since 8 days with significant gynecological past history. Clinical evaluation proved abdominal pain on palpation without fever. Serum levels of C-reactive protein were significantly elevated reaching the plateau of 320,943. Results:Transvaginal ultrasonography noticed the presence of a big left adnexal formation max diameter 18 cm that could be attributed to marked inflammation. Behind this, free fluid detected by the presence of adhesions that could be attributed to hydrosalpinx. The diagnosis of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome followed by pelvic inflammatory disease was made and she hospitalized for 10 days. The patient came to our hospital 3 months later for her follow up and the transvaginal examination revealed left tubo-ovarian abscess. A new transvaginal ultrasonography after 3 months was clearly improved compared to the previous images. Conclusion:Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome which is complicated with pelvic inflammatory disease and especially pelvic abscess after in vitro fertilization and oocyte retrieval guided by ultrasound is a rare and simultaneously significant complication. Transvaginal ultrasonographical examination seems to be a pivotal tool primarily for the diagnosis and secondarily for the follow up of these infertile women.
