title: [A laparoscopic approach to a paratyphoid ovarian abscess].
abstract: A case report of a 29-year-old nulligravid patient with a ovarian typhoid abscess managed endoscopically is presented. Puncture and drainage of the pelvic mass was performed laparoscopically. The infrequency of Salmonella paratyphi as an etiologic agent of pelvic inflammatory disease is discussed and a review of the literature regarding endoscopic management of purulent pelvic collections is presented.
