Uterine actinomycosis. A case report and review
Abstract:
Current literature documents an association between intra-uterine contraceptive usage and genital tract colonization or infection with actinomycosis. Uterine involvement, however, is extremely rate. A case of severe pelvic infection with uterine perforation due to an actinomycosis fistula as confirmed by tissue is presented. The condition of actinomycosis is reviewed with special attention to involvement of the female pelvic organs and the difficulties in diagnosis.

Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
01:18Trichomoniasis
Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infections in the United States. This extracellular parasite primarily colonizes the lower genitourinary tract in women—particularly the vagina—and in men, the urethra and prostate. Its structural and functional adaptations enable its survival, motility, and pathogenicity within the host environment.Structural Features and Host EntryT.
