Abstract
With normal endometrial function, endometritis is rare. If not severely injured, normal endometrium is resistent against acute infection, and since it is regularly shed every 4 weeks, there is little time for a chronic infection to develop. Endometritis should be diagnosed only if either the glandular epithelium is destroyed by inflammatory cells or if plasma cells are present in addition to neutrophils and lymphocytes.
