RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of urogenital chlamydial infections in women from Eastern Slovakia and to compare the occurrence in women with and without clinical signs of disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined a total of 1978 women from Eastern Slovakia for the presence of C. trachomatis over a three year period. Antichlamydial antibodies of classes IgG and IgA were detected by ELISA while PCR was applied to detect pathogen. RESULTS: 3.6 % of the population had presence of antibodies while 10.1 % of the women showed presence of bacteria by PCR. CONCLUSIONS: Obtained results when compared with clinical examination revealed clear distinction, which was age dependent. Lower age categories were more likely affected by acute infection with positivity for IgA and IgG antibodies as well as PCR. Middle age categories showed significantly higher level of IgG antibodies in comparison to IgA, while pathogen was readily detected by PCR. In women older than 51 years the results reflected more likely a past infection that is presence of only IgG and negative PCR (Tab. 4, Ref. 18).

AIM: Point to an extremly rare complication of a curettage during abortion and follow up surgical treatment of this complicated state. CASE: In the case of 32 years old woman, multipara, was perforated cervix uteri during the abortion curettage and fat tissue of mesentery was aspirated into canulla. Apendix vermiformis was aspirated into cannula with its protrusion through the neck of the womb during repeated revision. Surgeon made appendectomy lege artis after abdomen revision and looking after haemoperitoneum. Because of serious devastation of right fallopian tube, salpingektomy was performed. Perforation of cervix in the lenght of three cm was sutured. Extensive incomplete rupture continuing from perforation gap was sutured from ligamentum sacrouterinum I.dx to fundus uteri. Intact foetus of 5,5 week of gestation was leaved in toto because of the high risk of the womb wall disruption during repeatedly attempted abortion. CONCLUSION: In case of the suspection of the uterus injury a revision and interdisciplinary approach to the solution of complications is necessary.
