salpingitis/fever

BACKGROUND Febrile morbidity following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a rare but possibly serious complication. This report describes a case of salpingitis after IVF-ET and discusses the possible reasons for febrile morbidity following this common procedure. METHODS A

The efficacy of pivampicillin, administered in a dose of 350 mg three times daily or 500 mg twice daily, was compared in 107 patients with acute salpingitis. Both regimens were equally effective. Fortyseven out of 56 patients given the 500 mg doses were cured and four improved. Of the patients who

BACKGROUND A viable intrauterine pregnancy with salpingitis has been reported rarely. METHODS A 27-year-old woman at 10 weeks' gestation developed abdominal pain, fever, leukocytosis, peritoneal signs, closed cervix and a viable pregnancy. Progression from acute salpingitis to septic abortion was

Two cases of prolonged fever are reported. In the first case a tuberculous abscess of the liver was considered after an ultrasonic examination of the periphery of an hepatic calcification discovered many years ago; a right hepatectomy confirmed the diagnosis. The second patient was treated twenty

One hundred and twenty-four out of 198 consecutive women who underwent diagnostic lasparoscopy for clinical symptoms and signs of acute salpingitis at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria had acute salpingitis. These were slightly younger than those without acute salpingitis, otherwise

To test the efficacy and safety of amoxycillin/clavulanate (Augmentin), 102 hospital patients with laparoscopically confirmed acute salpingitis were treated with parenteral amoxycillin/clavulanate (1.2 g qid for three days) followed by oral amoxycillin/clavulanate (two tablets of 625 mg tid for a

Acute salpingitis is an uncommon cause of an acute surgical abdomen, especially in an adolescent who is not sexually active. The following is a case of a 12-year-old girl who denied sexual activity, had a remote history of an appendectomy, and a recent diagnosis of a large, right-sided ovarian cyst,

The diagnosis of acute salpingitis no longer requires the patient to have fever, bilateral adnexal tenderness and/or swelling, leukocytosis and an elevated sedimentation rate. New criteria have been formulated. There is increasing awareness of the potential role of Chlamydia and increasing use of

Acute salpingitis is one of the most common acute gynecologic diseases and occurs in approximately 750,000 women each year in the United States. Use of laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis of acute salpingitis has shown that the signs and symptoms classically ascribed to this disease are not

An open randomised comparative trial of the efficacy and safety of Augmentin as against the triple therapy of penicillin-gentamicin-metronidazole in acute salpingitis was conducted in forty women admitted to hospital. Laparoscopy was performed routinely to confirm the diagnosis. The two groups of

We describe the pathology of a unique case of Fallopian tube amebiasis, associated with hydrosalpinx, in a 21-year-old woman. She complained of lower abdominal pain, had a foul-smelling green vaginal discharge and fever during one week. There was a discrete increase in body temperature and a painful

Eighty-five sexually active women with clinically suspected adnexitis and illness severe enough to require hospitalization were studied. The clinical diagnosis, based on anamnestic data and physical and pelvic examination, was confirmed by laparoscopy and by cultures for aerobic and anaerobic

A randomized comparison of ceftazidime versus clindamycin-tobramycin was performed for the treatment of obstetrical and gynecological infections. Entry criteria were an oral temperature of greater than or equal to 38 degrees C and a clinical diagnosis of endometritis, salpingitis, or pelvic

In the five-year period 1974 to 1978, there were 23,256 deliveries and 204 ectopic pregnancies at Fairfax Hospital. Forty-six patients (22.5%) had had previous pelvic surgery, including 14 salpingectomies for previous ectopic pregnancies. Only 27 patients (13.2%) had a history of salpingitis, but

The purpose of this study was to determine whether selected clinical features can distinguish salpingitis associated with endocervical Neisseria gonorrhoeae from that caused by Chlamydia trachomatis in black, inner-city adolescents. We reviewed retrospectively the charts of teenagers presenting to a
