[Tuberculous tubo-ovarian abscess as a distant complication of Caesarean section]

A 37-year-old patient, two mounts after the third caesarean sections, was rehospitalised due to severe lower abdomen pains and fever. She had been treated with antibiotics several times with no apparent result. Laparotomy was performed and the tubo-ovarian abscess was resected. The histological diagnosis was--adnexal tuberculosis. The postoperative period was febrile with prolonged inguinal lymphatic nodes reaction. She was constantly treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and left hospital after 30 postoperative days. The disease was probably the result of symptomless lung tuberculosis, she had suffered from in the past.
