A clinical case of a combined course of endometritis and ovariitis in the Wistar rat

The aim was to study the clinical condition and pathomorphological changes in the ovarian tissues of the rat after chronic endometritis and ovariitis. The general condition of the rat had no changes, the place was minor hyperemia of the vaginal mucosa and excretion of purulent-catarrhal exudate from the cervical canal. The treatment was not effective, the animal underwent ovariohysterectomy, and the operative material was sent for histological examination. The overall histological picture of the evaluated ovarian tissue sections corresponds to a chronic inflammatory process. This clinical case in the rat is an illustrative model showing the possibility of inflammatory processes in the uterus to provoke the development of pathology in the ovarian structures, which can further lead to the loss of reproductive function.
