Least square mean and SE for fibrosis, epithelium inflammation, stromal inflammation, and eosinophil score derived from a histological evaluation of uterine cross sections. Data are presented for healthy versus metritis that were either treated with antibiotic (Ab) or not treated (No trt) with antibiotic (top panel) and clear versus purulent uterine flush that were either Ab treated or not treated (bottom panel) at disease diagnosis.

Histological scoring of endometrial fibrosis (1 to 3; mild to severe) and endometrial inflammatory cell or eosinophil scored from 0.5 (< 10 cells/field) to 3 (> 50 cells/field)]. Asterix (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001) is for the probability of the main effect (healthy versus metritis or clear versus purulent). Letter is for the interaction of the main effect with treatment (xP < 0.05, yP<0.01, zP<0.001).
