Abstract
Conservative management of genital prolapse in older women uses vaginal pessaries. Infectious complications of these devices, attributable in some instances to poor routine maintenance, are uncommonly reported. We present 2 cases of genitourinary sepsis associated with unsuspected pessary use and discuss the spectrum of complications reported with these appliances.
