BACKGROUND: Febrile morbidity following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a rare but possibly serious complication. This report describes a case of salpingitis after IVF-ET and discusses the possible reasons for febrile morbidity following this common procedure.
CASE: A 37-year-old woman undergoing IVF-ET for tubal factor infertility developed sudden, severe pelvic pain, fever, and leukocytosis 24 hours after ET. Laparoscopy revealed bilateral suppurative pyosalpinges with cystic, hemorrhagic ovaries. Pain, fever, and leukocytosis resolved with conservative surgery and intravenous antibiotic therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: This case presents laparoscopic documentation of a rare complication of oocyte aspiration and/or ET, namely, salpingitis. Possibilities for the development of salpingitis following IVF-ET include activation of quiescent bacteria within the fallopian tubes from a previous pelvic infection, puncture of the bowel during oocyte aspiration, inoculation of the pelvis with cervicovaginal flora during oocyte aspiration, and introduction of bacteria-laden secretions or air into the fallopian tubes during ET. Although rare, the possibility of severe pelvic infection following IVF-ET warrants consideration of prophylactic antibiotic coverage.
