Rupture of ectopic pregnancy in women with low and declining serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin concentrations

Fertil Steril. 1991 Oct;56(4):786-7. doi: 10.1016/s0015-0282(16)54619-6.

Abstract

Rupture of tubal EP in two women whose serum beta-hCG levels were low and declining was reported. It suggests that low and falling serum beta-hCG levels are not always associated with resolution of EP and tubal rupture can still occur.
