Abstract
We report a case of pelvic abscess in a 27 year old HIV infected multiparous woman who presented in our hospital with abdominal pain, fever and offensive vagina discharge of one week duration. She had laparotomy with drainage of abscess and antibiotic treatment. Her recovery was uneventful and she was discharged home on the tenth postoperative day. Pelvic abscess is a complication of delayed or inadequate treatment of PID. HIV may be an added problem in the presence of immune depression. Early and adequate antibiotic treatment of all cases of PID including surgical intervention should be considered.
