Abstract
Women attending our Department for a first-trimester abortion were examined for the presence of Mobiluncus species. C. trachomatis or clue cells in vaginal discharge in an attempt to identify risk groups for development of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) after first-trimester abortion. A correlation was found between the presence of Mobiluncus and clue cells in vaginal discharge and the incidence of PID after first-trimester abortions. These women were also older than those in whom C. trachomatis was identified. Our study indicates that screening for C. trachomatis and clue cells in vaginal discharge will identify two different risk groups for developing PID after first-trimester abortion.Entities:
