Conditions

Chronic endometritis Infections and Infestations

Interventions

Chronic endometritis was diagnosed through hysteroscopy and immunohistochemistry for CD 138. Patients in both groups were tested for CE twice to evaluate the cure rate after oral combination antibioti

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Prevalence of chronic endometritis (CE) in a population that undergoes an IVF procedure measured using immunohistochemistry staining for CD 138 positivity over 1 year 2. Rate of CE resolution in patients receiving oral versus an intrauterine infusion of antibiotics measured using immunohistochemistry staining for CD 138 negativity at the control biopsy over 1 year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation of the hysteroscopic aspect with the positive CD 138 immunohistochemical staining measured by the number of pathological hysteroscopies that also have positive CD 138 staining over 1 year
