Clostridium tubo-ovarian abscess

A *Clostridium* tubo-ovarian abscess is an uncommon, severe pelvic infection characterized by an inflammatory, pus-filled mass involving the fallopian tube and ovary, caused or co-infected by anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria of the genus *Clostridium* (such as *Clostridium perfringens* or *Clostridium septicum*) Primarily affecting women of reproductive or postmenopausal age, the infection typically arises from ascending genital tract pathogens, direct extension from adjacent gastrointestinal d...
