Abstract

Pelvic inflammatory disease is an important cause of acute and chronic morbidity among women of reproductive age, and PID rates are rising. Clinical diagnosis of PID is often inaccurate, but can be improved by knowledge of risk factors and use of simple investigations. Early diagnosis and the institution of appropriate treatment regimens, including evaluation and prompt treatment of sexual partners, are essential to prevent PID's devastating sequelae.
