    X-Ray Nanotomography of Individual Pulp Fibre Bonds Reveals the Effect of Wall Thickness on Contact Area.

    Scientific reports·2019

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a significant gynecological infection.
    • Endometritis is a common histopathological finding in PID.
    • Chlamydia trachomatis is a known cause of sexually transmitted infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of Chlamydia trachomatis in endometritis.
    • To determine if C. trachomatis is an invasive endometrial pathogen.
    • To assess the severity of inflammation associated with C. trachomatis endometritis.

    Main Methods:

    • Endometrial biopsies were analyzed from 32 women with suspected PID.
    • Histopathological examination was performed to identify endometritis.
    • Chlamydia trachomatis isolation was attempted from endometrial samples.

    Main Results:

    • 23 out of 32 women (72%) showed evidence of endometritis.
    • C. trachomatis was isolated from 9 women (39%) with endometritis.
    • Severe plasma cell endometritis and lymphoid follicles were more frequent in the chlamydia-positive group.

    Conclusions:

    • Chlamydia trachomatis acts as an invasive endometrial pathogen.
    • C. trachomatis infection is associated with severe endometrial inflammation.
    • The association between C. trachomatis and endometritis is independent of intrauterine contraceptive device use.
