Pyometrocolpos: A Case Series and Proposed Management Framework for the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Consultant

While children with female reproductive tract anomalies may present with concern for pyometrocolpos, it is important to differentiate between inflammatory symptoms from retained blood products and those caused by bacterial infection. We present a framework for approaching management of suspected pyometrocolpos and discuss the microbiologic differential for proven cases.

Abstract

While children with female reproductive tract anomalies may present with concern for pyometrocolpos, it is important to differentiate between inflammatory symptoms from retained blood products and those caused by bacterial infection. We present a framework for approaching management of suspected pyometrocolpos and discuss the microbiologic differential for proven cases.
