[Occurrence of microorganisms in chronic salpingitis in infertile women]

The authors presented the results of microbiological study of internal genitalia of 22 females operated on for tubal infertility caused by chronic salpingitis (all of them were subjected to laparoscopic or laparotomic intervention with subsequent salpingoovariolysis and fimbriostomatoplasty). Cervical discharge, endometrial biopsy specimens, tissue and contents of sactosalpinx as well as abdominal exudates were subjected to bacteriological study. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of aerobic and anaerobic microflora composition was made. The findings stated the variety of inflammation activity levels disregarding the degree of anatomical changes in the genitalia. However, microorganisms were detected in the focus of inflammation only in the acute stage of the inflammation in the true pelvis.
