Serum zinc concentrations in 47 patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease were compared with those of 50 women in a control group. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the white cell count and acute-phase protein (alpha 1- and alpha 2-globulin) values were used to confirm or exclude infection among the patients studied. All these values differed significantly in the control and study groups. The mean zinc level in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease was 0.725 +/- 0.154 micrograms/ml and that in the control group 0,862 +/- 0.117 micrograms/ml. This difference was statistically significant (P less than 0.001).
对47例急性盆腔炎患者的血清锌浓度与50名作为对照组的女性进行了比较。采用红细胞沉降率、白细胞计数和急性期蛋白（α1球蛋白和α2球蛋白）值来确认或排除所研究患者中的感染情况。所有这些值在对照组和研究组中均有显著差异。盆腔炎患者的平均锌水平为0.725±0.154微克/毫升，而对照组为0.862±0.117微克/毫升。这种差异具有统计学意义（P<0.001）。
