Abstract

Pelvic infection after IVF occurs in <1% of cases, and is more common in patients with endometriomas or previous pelvic infection. It can occur after oocyte retrieval or after embryo transfer on its own, as with cases of frozen embryo transfer or oocyte recipients. It is associated with poor IVF outcome. The chapter deals with causes, prevention and management of this challenge.
