Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is becoming increasingly known for its ability to cause severe injury to the female genital tract. Little investigation has been done in its role in diseases of Bartholin's glands. We present what we believe to be the first case report of an abscess of a Bartholin's gland in which Chlamydia trachomatis was a major pathogen. This communication also review the literature concerning the microbiology of Bartholin's gland abscess.
