[The current clinical approach in puerperal endometritis].

The authors report a study on clinical and microbiological aspects of endometritis in 50 parturients. The analysis of results shows that major risk factors for the development of puerperal endometritis are urgent Caesarean section, premature rupture of membranes for more than 15 hours and surgical vaginal delivery. In conclusion the authors propose their actual clinical view on diagnosis and treatment of puerperal endometritis.

[The assessment of the clinical and microbiological status of the lower genital tract in women with sterility].

The study was carried out on 40 randomly selected patients with sterility, in whom microbiological examination of the lower genital tract was performed. Pathogenic microorganisms were isolated in the vaginal secretion of 10 out of 26 patients with primary sterility, but in the cervical secretion in 8 out of 26 women. Similar finding was found in 5 patients out of 14 patients with secondary sterility.
