Abstract
Pyocolpos is a rare complication of hydrocolpos. Hydrocolpos usually p resents during adolescence and is associated with an imperforate hymen . The following is a case of a 3-month-old girl with pyocolpos. Her hi story was significant for a urinary tract infection (UTI) at 7 weeks o f age. The authors believe that her UTI was caused by urinary retentio n secondary to hydrocolpos. A complete evaluation may have prevented t he complication of pyocolpos. Copyright (C) 1997 by W.B.
