摘要

Background: The value of serial measurement of serum b subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) and ultrasonography in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy has well established.Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the diagnostic value of raising level of serum bHCG, single measurement of progesterone (P) and estradiol (E2) in early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.Materials and Methods: Serum levels of bHCG and estradiol were measured by Radio Immuno Sorbent Assay (RIA) and progesterone level was measured by Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) techniques in 43 symptomatic women with ectopic pregnancy and 42 women with normal intrauterine pregnancy in
