[Chlamydia trachomatis--laparoscopy specimen-taking and diagnosis of salpingitis]. 1984

U B Hoyme, and J Swacek

To determine the microbiological aetiology of salpingitis, swab specimens for chlamydial cultures from the fimbriae and cul-de-sac were obtained by means of a new laparoscopic instrument in 47 patients with salpingitis. Due to technical problems with the new method, 19 women were lost for evaluation; however, eight of the remaining 28 (28.6%) had positive chlamydial cultures. No other bacteria were found in the cul-de-sac fluid. Laparoscopy was used in 45 additional patients to aspirate cul-de-sac fluid. Chlamydia trachomatis was found in three women (6.7%), Bacteroides fragilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis in one each.

D002692 Chlamydia trachomatis Type species of CHLAMYDIA causing a variety of ocular and urogenital diseases.
D005187 Fallopian Tubes A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.
