Abstract:
Total amylase and salivary (S) type isoamylase were measured in serum from 80 women with acute abdominal pain admitted to the Department of Gynecology. Fifty-seven patients had verified gynecologic diseases, including 21 patients with inflammation of the internal genitals and 11 with ectopic pregnancy. Twelve patients had an intrauterine pregnancy in the first trimester. None of the 80 patients showed hyperamylasemia.
