There are the milder forms, catarrhal salpingitis, resultingin hytlrosalpinx and rarely in hematosalpinx. In these milder formsthe inflammation remains confined to the tube. The tube and ovary may be involved simultaneously in instance, we see the conditions known as tubo-ovarian cyst andtubo-ovarian abscess. Such conditions are brought about through theformation of inflammatory adhesions between the tubes and ovaries,a resulting sinus formation from one organ to the other, and the partici-pation of each in the disease of the other. As a rule, inflammation ofthe ovaries is secondary to inflammation of the tubes; but ovaritis mayoccur independently of salpingitis, through infection, by means of the. Fig. 202.—Tubo-ovarian cyst. The tube above ends in a bulbous extremityfused with the ovary, with only a slight sulcus between them. The ovarian ligamentis shown below, leading out to the cystic ovary (path. No. 665., natural size) (H. ). lymph- and blood-channels from the uterus or from other organs,among which organs the inflamed appendix is the most common sourceof infection. The exciting organisms in the case of ovaritis are thegonococcus, the colon bacillus, the staphylococcus, the streptococcus, thepneumococcus, the typhoid bacillus, and the tubercle bacillus. Atrue primary ovaritis is extremely rare. Symptoms of Salpingitis.—It is often impossible to distinguishthe symptoms of salpingitis from those of ovaritis, especially when theovaritis is a consequence of the salpingitis. Ovaritis due to othercauses frequently may be distingviished. However, whether or not theinflammation involve the ovary, you will find the sufferer from salpingitiscomp
