Pelvic actinomycosis is an infection due to actinomyces organism associated with an intra-uterine contraceptive device. This infection is often revealed by an uni- or bilateral adrenal lesion. Lesions are sometimes more extensive and affect next pelvic organs: rectum, ureter, bladder. Diagnosis is often histologic with percutaneous biopsy or surgical biopsy (laparotomy or coelio surgery). Treatment is mainly medical with prolonged use of penicillin (6 months in severely cases). Surgery must be thrifty and conservative.

D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.

D010538 Peritonitis INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.
