Bartholinitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae: case report and review of literature

S Parvathi et al. Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2009 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Most of the Bartholin's gland abscesses have been thought to be caused by colonizing micro-organisms of the perineal region. We encountered an interesting case of acute Bartholins abscess caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in a primigravida. The abscess was incised and drained. The patient was treated with Cefuroxime. This case is presented for its rarity.
