Abstract
The ratio of granulocyte‐like cells to epithelial cells was examined in the fimbriae, ampullary and isthmic regions of oviducts obtained from normal women of reproductive age, from postpartum women, from menopausal women, from women on combined oral contraceptives and from women with adnexal pathology. Only patients on oral contraceptives had a significantly high percentage of granulocyte‐like cells as did one patient with acute salpingitis.Keywords
