Diagnosis and treatment of salpingitis.
The diagnosis of acute salpingitis no longer requires the patient to have fever, bilateral adnexal tenderness and/or swelling, leukocytosis and an elevated sedimentation rate. New criteria have been formulated. There is increasing awareness of the potential role of Chlamydia and increasing use of antibiotics effective against that organism.
