Abstract excerpt
The macaque model of chlamydial pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) demonstrates individual variability in the time of onset of intrapelvic adhesions. Some animals develop adhesions rapidly, within 2 weeks after a single tubal inoculation with Chlamydia trachomatis, while in others, adhesions are not observed until 2 weeks after a second tubal inoculation. To test whether this variability correlates with major...
