Abstract
Passive hemagglutination assay was used to evaluate endometrial antibodies in serum and peritoneal fluid of 37 patients with endometriosis and 54 patients without endometriosis. The results showed that the concentration of antibody titers in serum and peritoneal fluid was significantly higher for endometriosis than control patients. The severity of endometriosis has no effect on antibody concentration. Furthermore, the concentration of endometrial antibody titers was significantly higher in serum than peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis. These results suggest that serum endometrial antibody assay is specific and valuable for the diagnosis and progress of endometriosis.
