Abstract

Pelvic actinomycosis, which is a rarely seen disease, is caused by an anaerobic gram-positive organism, Actinomyces israelii, and usually occurs in patients with intrauterine device. It is chronic, granulomatous, suppurative and prone to fistulization. A 73-years-old patient with acute abdominal pain was operated, and perforated left tubo-ovarian abscess was seen. In the operation, left salpingo- oop-horectomy, partial omentectomy and appendectomy were performed. She had diabetes mellitus type-2, which is a risk factor. She had no history of vaginal tablet use and was treated with penicillin for a long period. We aimed to discuss a pelvic actinomyces case seen in the eighth decade of life, without use of intrauterine device, and which resulted in pelvic peritonitis.

Özet

Pelvik aktinomikoz anaerop gram-pozitif bir mikroorganizma olan Actinomyces israelli tarafından oluşturulan, genellikle intrauterin araç kullananlarda görülen kronik, granülomatöz, süpüratif ve fistülleşme eğilimi olan oldukça nadir bir hastalıktır. Yetmiş üç yaşında akut batın tablosu ile operasyona alınan hastada perfore sol tubaovaryan apse tespit edildi. Sol salpingooferektomi, parsiyel omentektomi ve apendektomi yapıldı. Risk faktörü olarak tip 2 diabetes mellitus mevcuttu. Vajinal tablet veya ovul kullanım öyküsü olmayan hastaya uzun süreli penisilin ile tedavi düzenlendi. Bu yazıda 70'li yaşlarda çok nadir görülen, intrauterin araç bulunmayan ve pelvik peritonit tablosu oluşan pelvik aktinomikoz olgusunun tartışılması amaçlandı.
