Popis: 5 descriptions of uterine infections caused by an IUD are given. The symptoms are leukorrhea and metroraghia. The antibiotic treatment must be accompanied by removal of the IUD. If symptoms are ignored, the infections become worse, with serious results. 2 of the cases needed drastic surgery and another became sterile. Close surveillance is necessary to avoid such infections and to provide careful treatment if they occur. Prevention should include avoiding IUD use in those who have never given birth, or at the time of curettage.
