Abstrakt: A bacteriological survey, with special reference to the presence of the gonococcus, has been made on 80 patients. We wished to determine whether “flare-ups” of acute salpingitis were due to reinfections arising from dormant cells in the tubal wall or from infections existing in the urethra and cervix. No chemotherapy or antibiotics were used preoperatively in this series of cases. Of the patients operated upon, uterine myomas were present in 51 instances and there were varying degrees of salpingitis noted in 73.
