Correlation between hysteroscopy findings and chronic endometritis.
To evaluate the role of hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of chronic endometritis (CE). ⋯ The finding of endometrial hyperemia, micro-polyps or endometrial interstitial edema during hysteroscopy should alert to the diagnosis of CE, but the overall accuracy of hysteroscopic examination with regard to the diagnosis of CE is only 67%, so it should not be used to replace histologic examination as the diagnostic tool of choice. In women in whom a diagnosis of CE is considered likely, endometrial biopsy should be obtained to examine plasma cells by immunohistochemistry, which should remain the preferred method for diagnosis.
