are of the opinion that laparoscopy is necessary in
all suspected cases.
During 1978-1980, 6331 women were delivered at
the Department, only 0.17 % of whom developed
puerperial salpingitis. During the same period 1141
women underwent legal termination of pregnancy,
0.7 % of whom developed salpingitis.
Salpingitis is a disease of young, sexually active
women, and is often venereal in origin. The inciden-
ce of gonorrhoea in Iceland is apparently increasing,
leading to an increase in the incidence of salpingitis
and thereby tubal infertility and ectopic pregnancy.
The correct diagnosis and adequate treatment of
salpingitis is thus important, as is the treatment of
sexual partners, to prevent reinfection.
