  • Title: [Detection of Actinomyces on an IUD--consequences?].
    Author: Goebe L, Matthes EM, Kurtzmann M.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1990; 112(3):167-9. PubMed ID: 2186584.
    Abstract:
    Smears from 210 removed IUD's were taken in order to investigate them on actinomycetes. In 20 cases (9.5%) agglomeration of filaments and spores of actinomyces were found. All patients were free of complaints. During the control curettage carried out later on only in one of the cases actinomyces were found in the endometrium. Signs of serious inflammation couldn't be proved. In cases without any complaints no clinical consequences are to be followed after having found actinomyces on the removed IUD.
