  • Title: [Actinomycosis and intrauterine spiral. 4 case reports].
    Author: Puchner T, Egarter C, Reisenberger K, Kiss H.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1994 May; 54(5):311-3. PubMed ID: 8050694.
    Abstract:
    Genital actinomycotic infections are relatively rare and show a strong coincidence with long term IUD application. Two patients without symptoms, where diagnosis was made by means of Papanicolaou smears, were compared with two patients, where removal of a tubovarian mass led to diagnosis. A general agreement about diagnosis and especially screening tests are still missing, but there seems to be a consensus regarding the types of IUD, the duration of use, and the sexual behaviour of the patients.
