Management of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common medical problem, but the diagnosis of PID can be challenging because the clinical manifestations may mimic those of other pelvic and abdominal processes. As PID might cause late complications such as infertility or chronic pelvic pain, it is of prime importance that the diagnosis of PID is made promptly to assure the early onset of an adequate antibiotic therapy. Where uncomplicated PID usually has a favorable course, complicated forms with tubo-ovarian abscess generally require surgical exploration.

Review
At present, PID is considered to be the most severe gynecological infection of young women as well as one of the most important problems of public health involving high social and economical costs. There are two pathogenetic aspects of PID. The primary form results from an ascending infection sustained by the microbic flora of the inferior genital tract, subsequently involving its higher anatomical districts. The secondary form derives from the pelvic diffusion of microorganism primarily involved in extra-genital infections. The analysis of the epidemiological aspects of the disease identifies in the sexual habits, the contraceptive procedures as well as the invasive instrumental practices (iatrogenic factors) the risk factors of the disease. PID has a multimicrobial origin based on a complex interplay between synergic infectious agents, vectors of etiological factors, interferon-gamma and intrauterine devices. The anatomopathological aspects of PID, including Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome are discussed. The literature concerning the diagnosis and the therapy of the disease is extensively analyzed.

Review
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common infection in women of reproductive age. PID is actually a spectrum of disease, beginning with cervicitis and progressing to endometritis and eventually salpingitis. Sequelae include ectopic pregnancy, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, hydrosalpinx, and tubo-ovarian abscess. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are the primary causes of PID. Chlamydial infection may be asymptomatic, and the resulting salpingitis is often referred to as "silent PID." Polymicrobial infection with other organisms (eg, anaerobes, facultative aerobes) may be initiated by gonorrhea, chlamydial infection, or both. Early recognition of infection, prompt institution of appropriate antibiotic therapy, and proper follow-up are important to prevent the sequelae of PID. Patient education is essential to reduce the incidence of PID.
