Abstract
In 2 patients with acute salpingitis, C. trachomatis was isolated from the cervix. In 1 patient the organism was also recovered from the Fallopian tubes; in the other chlamydial inclusions were found in Giemsa-stained tubal epithelial cells. A significant change in micro-immunofluorescence antibodies to C. trachomatis occurred in both patients during the disease. The Fallopian tubes of both parents were removed and studied by conventional histological techniques and, in 1, by transmission electron microscopy.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
