Role of bacterial vaginosis-associated microorganisms in endometriosis

Article Abstract:

There appears to be an association between bacterial infections and endometritis. One hundred seventy-eight women with suspected pelvic inflammatory disease were tested for endometritis, salpingitis, Neisseria (N.) gonorrhoeae, and Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis. Tests confirmed endometritis in 65% of the women. Patients with endometritis were 5.7 times more likely to have N. gonorrhoeae and 4.8 times more likely to have C. trachomatis. Of the women with endometritis, 68% also had uterine inflammation while only 23% of the women without endometritis had uterine inflammation.
