Résumé
We report the first case of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by Actinobaculum massiliense. A 53-year-old woman attended the emergency department with symptoms compatible with a PID episode, finally resolved by intramuscular antibiotic treatment. Actinobaculum sp. was isolated by culture, and A. massiliense was confirmed by matrix assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Only a few cases of A. massiliense infections have been reported, and the pathogenesis of infections by these bacteria is poorly understood. The introduction of new diagnostic methods into hospital routines will improve the detection of new and little-studied pathogens.
