Ovarian actinomycosis developed during the use of a plastic intrauterine contraceptive device.

The case of a primary ovarian actinomycosis developed during the use of a Szontágh--Szereday type plastic IUD is presented. After a radical operation the patient was discharged in a good condition but 40 days later had to be readmitted because of a pelvic and abdominal wall abscess. After local surgery and massive penicillin treatment she is free of complaints. It is assumed that the IUD had a pathomechanical role.

A comparative study of the effectiveness of the Lippes Loop, the Copper-T-200, and the Nova-T intrauterine contraceptive devices in Lagos, Nigeria.

Two hundred five women attending the Family Planning Clinic of the Department of Community Health were admitted into a nonrandomised study to compare the effectiveness of the Copper-T-200, Nova-T, and Lippes Loop intrauterine devices. Members of the study group of women were found to be older than their European counter-parts and also tended to have a higher parity (81.0% of the total group having more than three children). The expulsion rates and removal rates for bleeding and pain for Copper-T-200 and Nova-T users were respectively 6.5 and 3.8 and 5.0 and 1.5. These results were significantly lower than the rates for the Lippes Loop users which were 14.7 and 6.7, respectively. The continuation rates were higher for the Copper-T-200 (88.2) and the Nova-T (91.3) than for the Lippes Loop (75.5). These findings were essentially similar to those of other worldwide studies.

Intrauterine contraceptive device failures in renal transplant patients.

Concern is voiced regarding sexually active renal transplant patients and their use of the IUD for contraception. Two patients of this type conceived while receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The possible mechanisms of the IUD in preventing conception are mentioned. Immunosuppression may significantly alter these actions, thus allowing fertilization and implantation to occur. Alternate means of contraception are suggested in place of IUDs for these patients.
