title: [Prophylactic antibiotics and intrauterine procedures].
abstract: Prophylactic antibiotics (PA) are effective to prevent post hysterosalpingography pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and should be performed in these patients. No advantages are reported concerning PA in patients undergoing intra uterine device placement, hysteroscopy (diagnosis or operative hysteroscopy), medical abortion or uterine revision. Systematic PA with tetracyclins or imadazols is effective to prevent post abortion PID in patients undergoing surgical abortion and should be performed in these patients.
