Acute endometritis is mainly caused by sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydial or gonococcal infections.
True
Puerperal sepsis is mainly caused by retained blood clots or placental fragments in the uterus.
True
The endometrium in acute endometritis due to puerperal sepsis appears yellowish and purulent on gross examination.
True
Chronic endometritis is diagnosed by the presence of inflammation rich in neutrophils, pus cells, and necrosis in the endometrium.
False
True or false: The presence of plasma cells in the stroma is a diagnostic feature of chronic endometritis.
True
True or false: Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in locations such as the lungs and lymph nodes.
