Chlamydial salpingitis and perihepatitis after tubal occlusion.
Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from the distal part of the tube in a patient with salpingitis and perihepatitis 14 months after laparoscopic tubal occlusion. This suggests that chlamydial infection can spread by the lymphatic or hematogenous routes.
