Bilateral Tubo-Ovarian Abscesses Associated with Enterococcal Translocation in Decompensated Cirrhosis: A Case Report
This case highlights bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses as a rare infectious complication of cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction. In cirrhotic patients presenting with sepsis and intra-abdominal pathology, clinicians should consider atypical infection pathways related to bacterial translocation among the differential mechanisms of spread. Thus, recognizing cirrhosis as a functionally immunocompromised state is essential for the timely diagnosis and management of unusual infections.
