Endometritis and acute salpingitis associated with Chlamydia trachomatis and herpes simplex virus type two.
A patient who had endometritis confirmed by endometrial biopsy and acute salpingitis confirmed by laparoscopy is reported. Chlamydia trachomatis and herpes simplex virus type two were isolated from the endometrial cavity and the fallopian tube. The histopathologic findings of the endometritis were similar to those frequently seen in chronic chlamydial eye disease or chlamydial cervicitis.
