Bartholin’s Gland Abscess Due to Haemophilus Influenzae: Case Report and Literature Review

Bartholinitis is a common infection of the vulvar region, often polymicrobial in origin. While Escherichia coli and sexually transmitted pathogens are usually implicated, Haemophilus influenzae is rarely identified. We report a case of bartholinitis caused by H. influenzae in a young woman with no notable medical history. This case highlights the need to consider unusual pathogens in bartholinitis and the importance of an appropriate protocol for sample collection and culture.

Abstract

Bartholinitis is a common infection of the vulvar region, often polymicrobial in origin. While Escherichia coli and sexually transmitted pathogens are usually implicated, Haemophilus influenzae is rarely identified. We report a case of bartholinitis caused by H. influenzae in a young woman with no notable medical history. This case highlights the need to consider unusual pathogens in bartholinitis and the importance of an appropriate protocol for sample collection and culture.
