Tubo-ovarian abscess caused by Clostridioides difficile after eight months of surgery: Case report and review of extraintestinal abdominal abscess cases. J Infect Chemother 2024:S1341-321X(24)00144-2.

Abstract
We present a case of tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) caused by Clostridioides difficile (CD) in a 43-year-old female. Despite lacking a history of sexually transmitted diseases, the patient had undergone paraovarian cystectomy nine months before admission. Transvaginal ultrasonography performed eight months post-surgery revealed left ovarian enlargement, accompanied by subsequent lower abdominal pain and fever exceeding 38 °C. As oral antibiotic treatment was ineffective, the patient was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography upon admission revealed a massive TOA. Surgical drainage of the abscess was performed, and CD was identified in the culture from the pus. The TOA was treated with a three-month course of metronidazole and oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. While CD is commonly associated with colitis, extraintestinal manifestations are exceptionally rare. This case represents the inaugural report of TOA resulting from CD. A literature review on abdominal and pelvic CD abscesses found that patients undergoing surgical drainage had a favorable prognosis. Therefore, surgical intervention plays an important role in the management of CD abscesses.

Image-guided drainage management of tubo-ovarian abscess and the role of C-reactive protein measurements in monitoring treatment response: a single-center experience. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2023; 308:1321-1326. [PMID: 37389642 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-023-07117-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to compare the results of image-guided drainage in addition to antibiotic therapy (antibiotherapy) with antibiotherapy alone in the treatment of tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs) and evaluate C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in predicting the success of antibiotherapy. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 194 patients hospitalized with TOA. Patients were divided into the following two groups: those who underwent image-guided drainage in addition to parenteral antibiotherapy and those who did not undergo image-guided drainage and received antibiotherapy alone. CRP levels on the day of admission (day 0), day 4 of hospitalization (day 4), and day of discharge (last day) were recorded. The percentage of decrease in CRP levels during day 4 and the last day compared with that on day 0 was calculated. RESULTS A total of 106 patients (54.6%) underwent image-guided drainage with antibiotherapy, whereas 88 patients (45.4%) did not undergo drainage and received antibiotherapy alone. At admission, the mean CRP level was 203.4 (± 96.7) mg/L and was similar in both groups. The mean decrease in the CRP level on day 4 compared with that on day 0 was 48.5% and was statistically higher in the group that underwent image-guided drainage. Antibiotherapy failed in 18 patients, and a statistically significant difference was observed between treatment failure and the rate of decrease in the CRP level on day 4 compared with that on day 0. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, if the CRP level measured on day 4 decreased by < 37.1% compared with that on day 0, the probability of treatment failure would increase (area under the curve = 0.755; 95% confidence interval, 0.668-0.841; sensitivity, 73.6%; specificity, 60%). CONCLUSIONS Image-guided drainage combined with antibiotherapy in the treatment of TOA has high success rates, lower recurrence rates, and lower surgical requirement, and the mean decrease in the CRP level on day 4 can be monitored at treatment follow-up. In patients receiving antibiotherapy alone, if the CRP level on day 4 decreases by < 37.1%, the treatment protocol should be changed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognosis of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) and identify risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) recurrence. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis including 98 women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for TOA at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Bern University Hospital from January 2011 to May 2021. The primary outcome studied was the recurrence of PID after TOA surgery. Clinical, laboratory, imaging, and surgical outcomes were examined as possible risk factors for PID recurrence. RESULTS Out of the 98 patients included in the study, 21 (21.4%) presented at least one PID recurrence after surgery. In the univariate regression analysis, the presence of endometriosis, ovarian endometrioma, and the isolation of E. coli in the microbiology cultures correlated with PID recurrence. However, only endometriosis was identified as an independent risk factor in the multivariate analysis (OR (95% CI): 9.62 (1.931, 47.924), p < 0.01). With regard to the time of recurrence after surgery, two distinct recurrence clusters were observed. All patients with early recurrence (≤ 45 days after TOA surgery) were cured after 1 or 2 additional interventions, whereas 40% of the patients with late recurrence (> 45 days after TOA surgery) required 3 or more additional interventions until cured. CONCLUSION Endometriosis is a significant risk factor for PID recurrence after TOA surgery. Optimized therapeutic strategies such as closer postsurgical follow-up as well as longer antibiotic and hormonal therapy should be assessed in further studies in this specific patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the success rate, complications, and hospital length-of-stay of 3 modalities of minimally invasive management of tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs): laparoscopy, ultrasound-guided drainage, and computed tomography-guided drainage. DATA SOURCES Electronic-based search in PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using the following Medical Subject Heading terms: "minimally invasive surgical procedures," "drainage," "abscess," "tubo-ovarian," "ovarian diseases," and "fallopian tube diseases." METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Of the 831 articles in the initial results, 10 studies were eligible for inclusion in our systematic review. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS A total of 975 patients were included in our study; 107 (11%) had laparoscopic drainage procedures, and 406 (42%) had image-guided (ultrasound or computed tomography) drainage of TOAs. Image-guided TOA drainage had higher success rates (90%-100%) than laparoscopic drainage (89%-96%) and the use of antibiotic treatment alone (65%-83%). Patients treated with image-guided drainage had no complications (for up to 6 months of follow-up) and shorter lengths of hospital stay (0-3 days on average) compared with laparoscopic drainage (5-12 days) or conservative management with antibiotics alone (7-9 days). CONCLUSION Although conservative management of TOAs with antibiotics alone remains first-line, our review indicates that better outcomes in the management of TOA were achieved by minimally invasive approach compared with conservative treatment with antibiotics only. Of the minimally invasive techniques, image-guided drainage of TOAs provided the highest success rates, the fewest complications, and the shortest hospital stays compared with laparoscopy. The low magnitude of evidence in the included studies calls for further randomized trials. This systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Review (register, http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO;CRD 42020170345).

Abstract
Purpose: Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) and pelvic abscess are characterized by an inflammatory pelvic mass. In the majority of cases, this condition involves the ovaries, the fallopian tubes and/or any other adjacent tissue. TOA is considered a severe complication of PID and can cause severe sepsis. The main risk factors for women’s health are the size of the abscess, the initial amount of white blood cells (WBC), patients’ age as well as, any co-existing comorbidities. Methods: This study provides a review of the current literature regarding the management of TOA and the different criteria used in order to establish the optimal therapeutic approach or to predict outcome by individualizing cases. Four major search engines, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, PubMed and EMBASE, up to February 2020 were explored, focusing in epidemiology and risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. Results: Our review suggests that there are no clear guidelines for best practice, in case of TOA, but it appears that intravenous antibiotics combined with interventional radiology have good results for TOA <5 cm. When TOA is >5 cm, laparoscopic approach is indicated. Further studies are needed in order to evaluate the best treatment for women with TOA. Conclusions: More prospective studies on large-series of patients are in need, in order to determine a clear pathway and to suggest specific criteria, which can guide clinicians to choose optimal approach in a timely manner.

Abstract
PURPOSE Management of tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) is often complex and may include antibiotics, image-guided drainage via interventional radiology (IR) or surgery. We aim to (i) identify clinical factors that prognosticate primary drainage and (ii) compare outcomes of each treatment regimen. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis on patients with TOA, admitted to KK Hospital, a tertiary women's hospital in Singapore from June 2016 to June 2017. Pregnant patients or patients who were discharged against medical advice were excluded. 102 patients were included in this study. RESULTS 85.3% patients received antibiotics only, while 14.7% patients received antibiotics with IR drainage or surgery (primary drainage) as initial treatment. Subsequently, 20.7% failed antibiotic treatment and required IR drainage or surgery (secondary drainage). Patients aged above 40 years, TOA diameter of larger than 7 cm and presence of fever were found to be predictive of antibiotic failure, requiring secondary drainage. However, patients with primary drainage had a longer length of stay by 2.69 days (95% CI 1.44-3.94, p value < 0.001), compared to patients successfully managed conservatively. CONCLUSION Patients who are above 40 years, febrile and have a larger TOA are at a higher risk of medical treatment failure, and should, therefore, be recommended for primary drainage at presentation. Further prospective studies should be conducted with a larger sample size to compare the outcomes of conservative management versus drainage of TOA.

Abstract
Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the conservative treatment for tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) or pelvic abscess, but the failure rate of antibiotic therapy remains higher in patients with a larger abscess. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of early laparoscopic therapy in the management of TOA or pelvic abscess. A total of 100 patients were enrolled and their medical records were retrospectively analyzed after excluding 6 patients with malignant diseases. Based on the treatment they had received, the patients were divided into a conservative treatment group (n=41) and an early laparoscopic treatment group (n=53). In the conservative treatment group, 21 patients (51.2%) finally received laparoscopic exploration (late laparoscopic treatment group), and 20 patients (48.8%) achieved a success of antibiotic therapy (successful antibiotic therapy group). The cut-off value of abscess size for predicting antibiotic treatment failure was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between the clinical variables and antibiotic therapy failure in conservative treatment group. The durations of elevated temperature >38.0°C and hospitalization were significantly longer in the conservative treatment group than those in the early laparoscopic treatment group (all P<0.001). The patients in the late laparoscopic treatment group had a larger abscess size than those in the successful antibiotic therapy group (6.2±1.8 cm vs. 4.8±1.4 cm, P=0.008). An abscess diameter of 5.5 cm was obtained as the cut-off of antibiotic failure, and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.0 and 85.0%, respectively. An abscess diameter of ≥5.5 cm was independently associated with antibiotic failure (odds ratio=5.724; 95%CI: 2.025–16.182; P=0.001). In conclusion, early laparoscopic treatment was associated with a better clinical prognosis than conservative treatment and late laparoscopic therapy for TOA or pelvic abscess patients.

Abstract
A tubo-ovarian abscess (ATO) should be suspected in a context of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in case of severe pain associated with the presence of general signs and palpation of an adnexal mass at pelvic examination. Imaging allows most often a rapid diagnosis, by ultrasound or CT, the latter being irradiant but also allowing to consider the differential diagnoses (digestive or urinary diseases) in case of pelvic pain. MRI, non-irradiating examination, whenever it is feasible, provides relevant information, more efficient, guiding quickly the diagnosis. The diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess should lead to the hospitalization of the patient, the collection of bacteriological samples, the initiation of a probabilistic antibiotherapy associated with drainage of the purulent collection. In severe septic forms (generalized peritonitis, septic shock), surgery (laparoscopy or laparotomy) keeps its place. In other situations, ultrasound-guided trans-vaginal puncture in the absence of major hemostasis disorders or severe sepsis is a less morbid alternative to surgery and provides high rates of cure. Today, ultrasound-guided trans-vaginal puncture has been satisfactory evaluated in the literature and is part of a logic of therapeutic de-escalation. Randomized trials evaluating laparoscopic drainage versus radiological drainage should be able to answer, in the coming years, questions that are still outstanding (impact on chronic pelvic pain, fertility). The recommendations for the management of ATO published in 2012 by the CNGOF remain valid, legitimizing the place of radiological drainage associated with antibiotic therapy.
