Abstract
- Prevotella bivia (P. vivia) has a high proliferative potential in the presence of estrogen. Therefore, its involvement in vaginal tract infections, such as endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, has been well described in the literature. We experienced a very rare case of a 40-year old woman with a 6-cm abscess on the cuff who presented with a large amount of vaginal discharge and nausea two months after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. Our case indicates that clinicians should be aware of the possibility of P. vivia infections although rare.
