title: Rupture of ectopic pregnancy in women with low and declining serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin concentrations.
abstract: Rupture of tubal EP in two women whose serum beta-hCG levels were low and declining was reported. It suggests that low and falling serum beta-hCG levels are not always associated with resolution of EP and tubal rupture can still occur.
