1/5. Bilateral salmonella salpingo-oophoritis.A previously healthy nulliparous caucasian female presented with lower abdominal pain and a history of diarrhoea and vomiting for 2 weeks. Repeated stool examinations and blood culture were negative. A lump in the lower abdomen became more apparent over the next 2 weeks and a subsequent laparotomy revealed bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess formation. One ovary which was endometriotic and both the tubes were excised and the pus yielded a heavy growth of salmonella stanley.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. Oxyuris granulomas of pelvic peritoneum and appendicular wall.Infestation with enterobius (Oxyuris) vermicularis is very common but seldom produces lesions and even more rarely causes granulomas. Two cases of oxyuris granulomas/nodules), one in the serosa of ovaries and left fallopian tube in a female of 32-years and the other in the submucosa of the appendix in a 10-year old girl are identified by the presence of true necrotizing granulomas containing the parasite. The pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of abdominal granulomas is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 209.61520691635keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Bilateral enterobius vermicularis salpingo-oophoritis.Inflammatory pelvic disease secondary to infection with enterobius vermicularis is rare in that pinworms are usually asymptomatic inhabitants of the terminal small bowel and cecum. When these parasites do cause symptoms, however, there is a spectrum of gastrointestinal and genitourinary complaints. A case is presented of a woman with bilateral abdominal pain that was found to be due to a combination of parasitic and bacterial (bacteroides fragilis) infection. The parasitic fallopian tube infection may have predisposed the fallopian tubes to a microbial tuboovarian abscess.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 419.2304138327keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Granulomatous salpingitis secondary to Crohn's disease.A 30-year-old woman with longstanding Crohn's disease underwent resection of bowel and adherent adnexa. Granulomatous enterocolitis and granulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis were present histologically. Unusual features accompanying this tubal process included formation of an adnexal mass and florid atypical proliferation of the tubal epithelium. This proliferation is similar to that epithelial change described in tuberculous salpingitis and should not be confused with carcinoma in situ.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. salpingitis or oophoritis: what causes fever following oocyte aspiration and embryo transfer?BACKGROUND: Febrile morbidity following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a rare but possibly serious complication. This report describes a case of salpingitis after IVF-ET and discusses the possible reasons for febrile morbidity following this common procedure. CASE: A 37-year-old woman undergoing IVF-ET for tubal factor infertility developed sudden, severe pelvic pain, fever, and leukocytosis 24 hours after ET. laparoscopy revealed bilateral suppurative pyosalpinges with cystic, hemorrhagic ovaries. Pain, fever, and leukocytosis resolved with conservative surgery and intravenous antibiotic therapy. CONCLUSIONS: This case presents laparoscopic documentation of a rare complication of oocyte aspiration and/or ET, namely, salpingitis. Possibilities for the development of salpingitis following IVF-ET include activation of quiescent bacteria within the fallopian tubes from a previous pelvic infection, puncture of the bowel during oocyte aspiration, inoculation of the pelvis with cervicovaginal flora during oocyte aspiration, and introduction of bacteria-laden secretions or air into the fallopian tubes during ET. Although rare, the possibility of severe pelvic infection following IVF-ET warrants consideration of prophylactic antibiotic coverage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 419.2304138327keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
