Abstract

The diagnostic value of detection of serum β‑human chorionic gonadotropin (β‑HCG) and Chlamydia trachomatis immunoglobulin G (CT‑IgG) combined with transvaginal ultrasonography in early tubal pregnancy was investigated. A total of 55 patients with early tubal pregnancy were selected as the tubal pregnancy group, while 55 subjects of normal intrauterine pregnancy were enrolled as the intrauterine pregnancy group. Transvaginal ultrasonography and quantitative detection of serum β‑HCG and CT‑IgG were performed for all patients, and the clinical examination results were analyzed and compared. The endometrial thickness and serum β‑HCG level of patients with early tubal pregnancy were significantly lower than those of women with intrauterine pregnancy (6.7±1.5 vs. 11.6±1.2 mm; 776±109 vs. 5,598±187 U/l), and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.01); the serum CT‑IgG antibody positive rate of patients in tubal pregnancy group (49.1%) was significantly higher than that in intrauterine pregnancy group (12.7%) (p<0.01); the serum CT‑IgG antibody positive rates of patients with degree I, Ⅱ and Ⅲ of pelvic adhesion intubal pregnancy group were 28.6, 75.0 and 81.8%, respectively; the more severe the pelvic adhesion was, the higher the CT‑IgG positive rate would be. The diagnostic coincidence rate of combined detection was significantly higher than that of single detection of serum β‑HCG, progesterone and endometrial thickness. The detection of serum β‑HCG and CT‑IgG combined with transvaginal ultrasonography can diagnose the early tubal pregnancy soonest possible, and help choose the appropriate therapeutic methods depending on the situation to reduce the tubal damage of patients, so as to provide a reliable basis for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, and it has important clinical application value.
