Anecdotal association of endosalpingiosis with chlamydia trachomatis IgG titers and Fitz-Hugh-Curtis adhesions.

STUDY

OBJECTIVE

To correlate Chlamydia trachomatis IgG titers with endosalpingiosis.

DESIGN

Prospective, single-blind, histologic analysis of tissue, and retrospective analysis of historical laboratory and clinical variables.

SETTING

A tertiary care patient practice.

PATIENTS: Sixty consecutive patients with C. trachomatis IgG titers, 28 positive and 32 negative.

INTERVENTIONS: The second review of histology slides and charts of these women.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

RESULTS

One patient was found to have endosalpingiosis. She had Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHC) adhesions and a positive C. trachomatis IgG titer, but no endometriosis.

CONCLUSIONS

This review confirmed an anecdotal association of endosalpingiosis with positive C. trachomatis IgG titers and FHC adhesions, but failed to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship due to the size of the sample.
