摘要
Gynaecological infections are frequent in women, particularly in young women during their reproductive time. Anatomophysiologically, Bartholin's gland is greatly susceptible to infections and is characterised by an inherent polymicrobial population. In fact, gynaecological microbiota has a set of agents coming from the perianal region that colonise the vagina and, in particular, Bartholin's gland. Taking this into account, infections caused by agents that do not belong to the genital microbiota are less frequent. Here, we describe a case of a 23-year-old young woman with an abscess in Bartholin's gland caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
