The 'LH/HCG test', a valuable aid in the diagnosis of tubal pregnancy.
174 patients with suspected tubal pregnancy were thoroughly examined. The diagnosis was confirmed in 102 women. As the usual noninvasive and invasive examination methods proved to be rather inaccurate, a new procedure, the 'LH/HCG test', was evaluated. Results were positive in all our cases. It was therefore concluded that this assay should receive primary consideration when tubal pregnancy is in question.
