ICD-10-CM Code for Acute salpingitis and oophoritis N70. 0.
Salpingitis is inflammation of the fallopian tubes, caused by bacterial infection. Common causes of salpingitis include sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia.

Salpingitis is defined as inflammation of the fallopian tube, and it can be divided into three major types: acute, chronic (resolving), and granulomatous.
Salpingitis is also called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID means that there is an infection and inflammation in any of the reproductive organs. Acute salpingitis is the specific term for infection of the fallopian tubes.
Acute and Chronic Salpingitis One or both tubes may fill with pus. In rare cases, they could rupture and cause peritonitis, a severe infection of the pelvic cavity. Chronic salpingitis is a milder form of the inflammation that lingers after acute salpingitis. It typically lasts longer but produces fewer symptoms.
In order to diagnose salpingitis, one will usually undergo clinical and physical examination. In some cases, additional testing, such as blood work, urine tests, vaginal or cervical swabs, abdominal or transvaginal ultrasounds, or laparoscopic diagnosis may also be helpful.
It develops when harmful bacteria enter the reproductive tract. Salpingitis and other forms of PID usually result from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that involve bacteria, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. Salpingitis causes inflammation of the fallopian tubes.

If you get treatment right away, salpingitis can be cured. Be sure to keep your follow-up appointment with your health care provider to be sure your infection is gone. Sexual partners of women with acute salpingitis may also need to be tested for infection, even if they have no symptoms.
In mild cases, oral antibiotics are usually prescribed to treat the infection. For more severe cases, intravenous antibiotics may be required. It is also important that the individual's sexual partner is treated with antibiotics in the case of STI-related salpingitis.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are very easy to spread through sexual contact, partially because they often present with no symptoms. For this reason, salpingitis is the most common serious infection for women ages 16-25. In fact, it affects around 12% of women before the age of 20.
Tetracyclines alone or in combination with penicillin G or ampicillins are at present the most frequently us- ed antibiotics - at least in Scandinavian countries - for the treatment of acute salpingitis.
