Coming soonA *Peptostreptococcus* tubo-ovarian abscess is a severe, suppurative upper genital tract infection characterized by an encapsulated, purulent mass involving the fallopian tube and ovary, driven or co-infected by anaerobic Gram-positive cocci of the genus *Peptostreptococcus*.
Primarily affecting females of reproductive age, it represents a late and potentially life-threatening complication of pelvic inflammatory disease resulting from ascending lower reproductive tract pathogens.
Pathophysiologically, the organism thrives within the necrotic, hypoxic pelvic microenvironment, contributing to extensive local tissue destruction, multilocular adnexal collection, and systemic inflammatory responses.
Patients typically present with lower abdominal or pelvic pain, cervical motion tenderness, adnexal masses, leukocytosis, and fever, with risks of abscess rupture leading to generalized peritonitis and septic shock.
