Hi
I recieved a death cert this morning for my g-grans sister. She died in 1912, aged 23 of (1) Pyosalpinx (2) Peritonitis.
I have googled Pyosalpinx, and it says 'distension of fallopian tube with pus'
Would I be right in saying that she died from an ectopic pregnancy?
I know peritonitis is blood poisoning, usually from a ruptured intestine/stomach, would you still get peritonitis from a ruptured fallopian tube? or do you think she may have had an operation to remove her tube and the surgeon may have nicked the intestine?
She died in hospital. There was no post mortem.
