          Abstract

          RESUMEN La mayoría de los abscesos tubo-ováricos son debidos a complicaciones asociadas a la enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica. Sin embargo, una minoría son secundarios a otros procesos como neoplasias o patologías intrabdominales. Se presenta el caso de un absceso tubo-ovárico, en una mujer de 36 años, intervenida previamente de apendicectomía. En el cultivo del material de drenaje del absceso creció Granulicatella adiacens, un microrganismo no involucrado habitualmente en este tipo de infecciones. Tras la descripción del caso, se discute la etiología de los abscesos tubo-ováricos y las peculiaridades del microorganismo implicado.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT Most tubo-ovarian abscesses are due to complications associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. However, a minority are second-ary to other processes such as neoplasms or intraabdominal pathologies. A case of tubo-ovarian abscess is presented, in a 36-year-old woman, previously operated on for appendectomy. Granulicatella adiacens, a microorganism not usually involved in this type of infection, grew in the culture of the drainage material of the abscess. After the description of the case, the etiology of the tubo-ovarian abscesses and the peculiarities of the microorganism involved are discussed.

          Granulicatella infection: diagnosis and management.

          Granulicatella species, along with the genus Abiotrophia, were originally known as 'nutritionally variant streptococci'. They are a normal component of the oral flora, but have been associated with a variety of invasive infections in man and are most noted as a cause of bacterial endocarditis. It is often advised that Granulicatella endocarditis should be treated in the same way as enterococcal endocarditis. We review here the published data concerning diagnosis and treatment of Granulicatella infection, and include some observations from local cases, including four cases of endocarditis.

            Pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of severe pelvic inflammatory disease and tuboovarian abscess.

            Severe pelvic inflammatory disease and tuboovarian abscesses (TOAs) are common pelvic infections requiring inpatient admission. There are few large randomized trials guiding appropriate clinical management of TOA, including antibiotic selection and timing of surgical management and drainage. The pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of severe pelvic inflammatory disease and TOA are summarized and reviewed from the most current literature.
