Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection, often polymicrobial, that can mimic malignancy.
  • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a known risk factor for pelvic actinomycosis.
  • Prolonged IUD use can increase the risk of developing complications such as tuboovarian abscesses.
