  • Title: Urosepsis associated with vaginal pessary use.
    Author: Roberge RJ, McCandlish MM, Dorfsman ML.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1999 May; 33(5):581-3. PubMed ID: 10216336.
    Abstract:
    Conservative management of genital prolapse in older women uses vaginal pessaries. Infectious complications of these devices, attributable in some instances to poor routine maintenance, are uncommonly reported. We present 2 cases of genitourinary sepsis associated with unsuspected pessary use and discuss the spectrum of complications reported with these appliances.
