title: [Salpingitis].
abstract: The etiology of salpingitis is polymicrobial, however, the particular pathogen is difficult to identify, even in laparoscopically obtained specimens. Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, anaerobes and facultative anaerobic bacteria have to be covered by antimicrobial therapy. This article reviews the current aspects of etiology, diagnosis, therapy, prevention and complications of salpingitis.
