Plain-English summary
This study talks about a rare case where a woman developed an infection in her uterus caused by a bacteria called Pasteurella multocida, which is often found in animals. Usually, people get this bacteria from their pets, but this particular case involved an intrauterine device (IUD) that the woman had. While infections from this bacteria are not common in gynecological situations, this case highlights that it can happen. The outcome of the treatment for this infection wasn't specified in the abstract.
Abstract
Human infections with Pasteurella multocida are frequently attributed to transmission from animals. Although some cases of prosthetic implant infections have been described few gynecological cases have been reported. We describe a case of intrauterine device endometritis due to P. multocida.
