Six patients with deep obstetrical and gynecological infections due to non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae are presented. 3 patients had tubo-ovarian abscesses, 2 septic abortions and 1 postpartum sepsis. All our patients with tubo-ovarian abscesses had used intra-uterine contraceptive devices until admission and all had a protracted course of illness. Both patients with septic abortion had a severe course, one of them with disseminated intravascular coagulation demanding treatment in the intensive care unit. The patient with postpartum infection had a milder course. The possibility of infection with H. influenzae and the emergence of beta-lactamase producing strains warrant adequate culture procedures in women with obstetrical and gynecological infections in order to ensure proper treatment.
