Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections are associated with gynaecological conditions, yet screening algorithms are lacking. The aim was determining the utility of endometrial specimens for chronic gynaecological diagnosis. In a retrospective cohort study of 91 patients (42.8 % CD138-positive), only 5.5 % tested were positive for Ureaplasma parvum. Endometrial STI screening was not useful in a population of low STI prevalence (<10 %), suggesting its value depends on STI prevalence.
