Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealiticium belong to the commensal flora of the genital tract but can cause endometritis and salpingitis. |
The present case is consistent with other reported cases of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis in its presentation, history of infection, and antibiotic treatment. |
A salpingitis has the same effect in causing sterility in the female as has an epididymitis in the male. |
Study findings have sparked research on the etiology of acute salpingitis, new approaches to treatment, and the immunopathogenesis of C. trachomatis infection in women. |
There are no specific signs for salpingitis but a check must be made for any abscessed collections. |
Stage III, severe salpingitis with the presence of abscessed collections that may exist in several different places. |
