  • Title: Intrauterine contraceptive device-associated pelvic actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces urogenitalis.
    Author: Elsayed S, George A, Zhang K.
    Journal: Anaerobe; 2006 Apr; 12(2):67-70. PubMed ID: 16701616.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) associated pelvic actinomycosis due to Actinomyces urogenitalis in a previously healthy young adult woman. Diagnosis was confirmed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of bacterial colonies growing from the extracted device. This is the first documented report of human infection caused by this micro-organism.
