To assess various methods of management of actinomyces-like organisms associated with intrauterine devices.
A retrospective chart review of 173 patients with intrauterine device-associated actinomyces- like organisms detected on Pap smear was performed. The patients were managed by IUD removal with or without antibiotic therapy, antibiotic therapy alone, or no treatment at all.
The success rate as reflected in negative follow-up smear was 100% for IUD removal combined with antibiotics, 97.4% for IUD removal alone, and 36.8% for antibiotics therapy alone.
The best way to manage intrauterine device-associated actinomyces-like organisms is removal of the device with or without antibiotics.
评估与宫内节育器相关的放线菌样微生物的各种管理方法。
对173例巴氏涂片检测出与宫内节育器相关的放线菌样微生物的患者进行回顾性病历审查。患者的处理方式为取出宫内节育器(伴或不伴抗生素治疗)、单纯抗生素治疗或不进行任何治疗。
随访涂片结果为阴性所反映的成功率,宫内节育器取出联合抗生素治疗为100%,单纯取出宫内节育器为97.4%,单纯抗生素治疗为36.8%。
处理与宫内节育器相关的放线菌样微生物的最佳方法是取出宫内节育器,可伴或不伴抗生素治疗。
