OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between endometriosis and chronic endometritis. METHODS Endometrial specimens were obtained from 71 patients, 34 with endometriosis (endometriosis group) and 37 without endometriosis (non-endometriosis group), who underwent hysterectomy, and the specimens were immunostained for the plasmacyte marker CD138. The rate of chronic endometritis was compared bet...

Congenital and acquired abnormalities of the reproductive tract of female sheep resulting in subfertility,infertility or sterility cannot easily be detected by routine clinical examination. Morphopathologicalabnormalities of the reproductive tract of ewes were studied by examining a total of 739 genital tracts inabattoirs of Fars province, Iran. From these, the 648 non-pregnant genitalia were e...

OBJECTIVE We analyzed the histologic and immunohistochemical changes in the endometrial leukocytic subpopulations to determine which of them are characteristic of chronic endometritis. RESULTS Endometrial biopsies from 25 cases of chronic endometritis and 35 controls were studied. Characteristic morphologic findings included the presence of a plasma cell infiltrate, and a prominent, albeit no...

BACKGROUND Chronic endometritis is associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, recurrent abortion and infertility. It is a subtle condition, and therefore is difficult to diagnose. The diagnosis is ultimately based on the presence of plasma cells in the endometrial stroma on histopathological examination. Literature on the reproducibility of the diagnosis of chronic endometritis is lacking. Ther...

Chronic endometritis is a persistent inflammation of the inner lining of the uterine cavity. Several studies have demonstrated that it is a condition frequently associated with repeat‐ ed unexplained implantation failure at in vitro fertilization, recurrent miscarriage, as well as poor obstetric outcomes such as preterm labor. The aim of this paper is to provide information about diagnosis and ...

Background The purpose of the present study was to evaluate relationship between chronic endometritis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in endometrium infertile patients implantation phase. Methods Endometrial biopsy specimens from 66 infertility were analyzed. presence investigated by immunostaining for CD138. Immunohistochemical staining E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Slug, Snail performed, expr...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to assess the impact of mycoplasma strains (Mycoplasma hominis or Ureaplasma urealyticum) on the development of chronic endometritis. METHODS Fifty-eight patients with acute pelvic infection were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Endometrial cultures and biopsies were obtained on admission and 5-7 and 21-28 days after completion of treatment. RES...
