Gonorrhea and chlamydia are important causes of pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia also causes long-term sequelae, but the role of gonorrhea is unclear. We followed 300 000 reproductive-aged women for 10 years for ectopic pregnancy and tubal infertility; our findings suggest both infections confer similar increases in risk of these outcomes.
淋病和衣原体感染是盆腔炎的重要病因。衣原体感染还会导致长期后遗症,但淋病的作用尚不清楚。我们对30万名育龄妇女进行了为期10年的跟踪,观察异位妊娠和输卵管性不孕情况;我们的研究结果表明,这两种感染导致这些结果的风险增加程度相似。
