[Functional activity of phagocytizing cells of the female reproductive tract in inflammation of the upper part of genitalia].
66 women of reproductive age with different course of the inflammatory process in the upper section of the reproductive tract (endometritis and salpingo-oophoritis) were examined. The cell composition, viability and functional activity of the phagocytizing cells of cervical and endometrial secretions, as well as peritoneal exudate, were studied. The study revealed that these characteristics of the phagocytizing cells of the reproductive tract in women with the inflammatory process differed from similar characteristics in healthy women. Different changes in the functional activity of neutrophils and macrophages in the biological fluids under study in different course of the inflammatory process were detected.
