Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection-caused inflammatory continuum from the cervix to the peritoneal cavity. Most importantly, it is associated with fallopian tube inflammation, which can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. The microbial etiology is linked to sexually transmitted microorganisms, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrheae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and bacterial vaginosis-associated microorganisms, predominantly anaerobes. Pelvic pain and fever are commonly absent in women with confirmed PID. Clinicians should consider milder symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, metrorrhagia, postcoital bleeding, and urinary frequency as potential symptoms associated with the disease, particularly in women at risk of sexually transmitted infection. The diagnosis of PID is based on the findings of lower genital tract inflammation associated with pelvic organ tenderness. The outpatient treatment of mild-to-moderate PID should include tolerated antibiotic regimens with activity against the commonly isolated microorganisms associated with PID and usually consists of an extended spectrum cephalosporin in conjunction with either doxycycline or azithromycin. Clinically severe PID should prompt hospitalization and imaging to rule out a tuboovarian abscess. Parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy with activity against a polymicrobial flora, particularly gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes, should be implemented. Screening for and treatment of Chlamydia infection can prevent PID.

The study reports the C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma concentrations in 115 women with a presumed diagnosis of acute adnexitis. In addition to CRP, blood sedimentation rate, white blood cell count and the body temperature were evaluated and compared with the clinical findings. Diagnosis was confirmed or excluded by laparoscopy (n = 69) or laparotomy (n = 9). Clinical examinations and conventional laboratory examinations were of limited value in the diagnosis of acute adnexitis. In contrast, CRP was a highly sensitive indicator of inflammatory pelvic disease. Furthermore, the CRP determination was superior in assessing the efficacy of an antibiotic treatment.

Review
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a polymicrobial infection typically occurring in sexually active females. It occurs when microorganisms ascend from the lower genital tract into the upper genital tract. The clinical presentation varies in severity, with most patients presenting with mild disease. Complications include tubo-ovarian abscess, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and chronic pain. The newly revised criteria issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now include either cervical motion tenderness or adnexal tenderness with unchanged additional criteria.
