Diagnosis and Treatment of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome: Review of Current Literature
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCFS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the peritoneal and hepatic surfaces, causing the formation of adhesions and fibrous bands between these structures. This condition occurs as a result of prior infection by sexually transmitted pathogens, such as Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which provoke an inflammatory response at the peritoneal level and subsequently affect the hepatic surface.
