The surface epithelium proliferates and, ifthe inflammation continues, is killed and desquamates (fig. 131). Themuscular coat becomes oedematous and infiltrated with inflammatory SALPINGITIS •3i cells (fig. 132), and in streptococcal cases small localised abscesses maybe produced. The |>eritoiieaI coat is injected and in the later stages iscovered with a serous exudation which leads to the formation of adhe-sions. To the naked eye, such a tube is thicker, more tortuous, and of. Fig. 131.—Salpingitis.
