[Infected ovarian vein thrombosis in infection with Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis after cesarean section].

Puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis (POVT) is a rare but severe complication of the post partum period. We report on a patient, who developed a POVT based on an infection with Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. Problems of diagnostic procedures in cases of POVT and the role of ureaplasma and mycoplasma in infectious obstetric complications are discussed.
