peritoneal fluid of women with deeply infiltrating pelvic endometriosis," Fertility and Sterility, vol.
Several days after discharge, 16S ribosome testing revealed Mycoplasma hominis RNA within the
peritoneal fluid. Her outpatient antibiotic was changed to oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for three months.
Figure 1 shows a weak, yet statistically significant, correlation between plasma D-dimers and the
peritoneal fluid neutrophil count (r = 0.4783; [r.sup.2] = 0.2287; p = 0.00007).
These organ suspensions and samples of blood and
peritoneal fluid were subjected to tenfold serial dilutions, and 0.1 ml aliquots were plated onto selective Listeria agar (OXOID).
(8) Pathologic accumulation of
peritoneal fluid results in ascites fluid (obtained through peritoneocentesis) that is generally submitted to the laboratory for evaluation/ The amount of
peritoneal fluid normally present is 5mL to 20mL, but may be as much as 50mL, particularly in women during ovulation.
Despite having a high
peritoneal fluid cell count, he did not have any cardinal symptoms of infection.

peritoneal fluid transport kinetics.
Inflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL) 1, IL-6, IL-8, human monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, RANTES (Regulated on Activation Normal T cell Expressed and Secreted), and tumor necrosis factor alpha are found in significantly higher concentrations in the
peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis, compared with women without endometriosis.
[5] published the Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI) [Table 1] based on the analysis of 17 possible risks factors in patients with peritonitis; only 8 factors were found to be truly relevant to prognosis (age, sex, organ failure, cancer, duration of peritonitis, involvement of colon, extension of spread, and character of
peritoneal fluid) and were finally included in the index.
In the article, the researchers address the limitations of current paper and flexible material-based platforms and explain how they have integrated cellulose paper and flexible polyester films as new diagnostic tools to detect bioagents in whole blood, serum and
peritoneal fluid. They employed three different paper and flexible material-based platforms incorporated with electrical and optical sensing modalities.
