Zum Problem der Endometritis - differentialdiagnostische Erwägungen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung histologischer und mikrobiologischer Befunde

article OA: closed CC0

Abstract

In 100 patients with the assumed diagnosis "endometritis" an examination program including histological and microbiological methods was conducted. In only 73% of these, the histological examination confirmed the assumed diagnosis, and only in 3% concerning the microbiological tests; therefore other diagnoses such as peritoneal irritation at ovulation, adenomyosis uteri and spastic pelviopathias were dominant. The diagnosis of an endometritis therefore is often an exclusive one and should induce subtle examination methods before an unspecific antibiotic therapy is begun. This procedure is absolutely possible regarding out-patients.

WimmenauerPublication History Publication Date: 19 March 2008 (online) Zusammenfassung Bei 100 Patientinnen mit der Verdachtsdiagnose »Endometritis« wurde ein diagnostisches Schema einschließlich histologischer und mikrobiologischer Methoden durchgeführt. Lediglich in 37% bestätigte das histologische und in 3% das mikrobiologische Ergebnis die Verdachtsdiagnose. Andere Krankheitsbilder wie Peritonealreiz bei Follikelsprung, Adenomyosis uteri und Pelveopathia spastica standen quantitativ im Vordergrund. Die Diagnose Endometritis ist daher oft eine Verlegenheitsdiagnose und sollte Veranlassung zur subtilen Diagnostik sein, ehe ungezielt eine Antibiotikatherapie eingeleitet wird; dabei ist dieses Vorgehen durchaus auch ambulant möglich.
