説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Campylobacter fetus</jats:italic> often causes systemic infection in immunocompromised or older patients, and prenatal infection, but <jats:italic>Campylobacter</jats:italic> has rarely been reported as a cause of adnexitis in healthy young women. Here we report two cases of endometriotic cysts infected by <jats:italic>C. fetus</jats:italic> for the first time. In case 1, a 28‐year‐old woman with a left adnexal cyst was hospitalized for left tubo‐ovarian abscess and underwent left salpingo‐oophorectomy. In case 2, a 22‐year‐old woman with a right adnexal cyst was hospitalized for a bilateral tubo‐ovarian abscess and underwent right salpingo‐oophorectomy and left salpingectomy. In both cases, <jats:italic>C. fetus</jats:italic> was detected on culture, and histopathology indicated a purulent endometriotic cyst. The present findings suggest that endometriotic cyst can be a focus of <jats:italic>C. fetus</jats:italic> infection.</jats:p>
