Ectopic gestation in the Highlands.
An analysis is made of 18 patients presenting with ectopic pregnancy over a 10 month period in Goroka Hospital. This condition is not uncommon, often chronic in presentation, not excluded by pyrexia, and commonly associated with anaemia. Posterior culdocentesis is a useful test to differentiate the condition from pelvic sepsis.
