Common causes of salpingitis include sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Salpingitis is a common cause of female infertility because it can damage the fallopian tube. Treatment options include antibiotics.  Before antibiotics were available, mortality from acute salpingitis was about 1%. However, the mortality rate is much higher in cases complicated by ruptured TOA and in ectopic pregnancies. Long-term sequelae include chronic pelvic pain, TOA, hydrosalpinx, tubal infertility, and ectopic pregnancy.         ...
