3. Definition
PID is a spectrum of inflammatory disordes of
upper female genital tract (endometritis,
salpingitis, T-O abcess and pelvic peritonitis)
PID is inflammatory process of infectious
eitiology , which specifically involves at the
leat the uterine and /or fallopian sites , and
which may result in relatively comparable long
term sequelae.
4.
5. Epidemiology
PID is commonly associated with STDs ,
incidence is on rise due to rise in STDs
Estimates of Annual incidence of PID, acc to
WHO is :
Between 9.5 to 14 cases /1000 fertile
women, with higher rate of 18 to 20 per 1000
among women aged 15 to 24 years .
Among sexually active women : incidence is
1-2 % per year.
6. Strong evidence Weak evidence
1.Prior infection with chlamydia or
gonorrhea
1. Low socio- economic status
2.Younger age at onset of sexual
activity .
2.Substance Abuse
3.Prior H/O PID 3.Douching
4.STD 4.Higher frequency of coitus
5Non use of barrier
contraceptives
5.Cigarette Smoking
6.Unprotected Sexual intercourse
with multiple parter
6.Intercourse during menstruation
.
Risk factors
8. Mode of Transmission
Ascending infection (Canalicular spread)
Ascend of gonococcal & chlamydial organism by
surface extension from the lower genital tract through
cervical canal by way of endometrium to the fallopian
tubes .
- Facilitated by the sexually transmitted vectors such as
sperms & trichor .
- reflux of menstrual blood
along with gonococci into
fallopian tubes may
be the other possibility.
9.
10. Mode of transmission
Through uterine lymphatic and blood vessels
across parametrium .
- Mycoplasma hominis
- Secondary organism
Gynecological
procedures favoring ascent of infection
- D & C , D & E .
11. Blood borne transmission
-pelvic tuberculosis
Direct spread from contaminated structures in
abdominal cavity.
- appendicitis, cholecystitis
17. Examination
Abominal examination : show
distension combined with tenderness
and rigidity in lower abdomen
Speculum examination : Shows
purulent discharge emanating from
cervical canal
Bimanual examination : I an acute
stage, cervical motion tenderness and
tenderness in fornices is elicited
18. Fitz Hugh & Cutis syndrome
- Consist of right upper quadrant pain
resulting from ascending pelvic infection and
inflammation of liver capsule or diaphragm.
Although it is typically associated with acute
salpingitis , it can exist without signs of acute
PID.
22. Pregnant women –
Corpus luteum hematoma , ectopic pregnancy ,
ovarian torsion , ovarian vein
thrombosis(postpartum ), placental abruption ,
uterine impaction .
Adolescents- similar to women in reproductive
age, imperforated hyem and transverse
septum.
Postmenopausal women – Similar to women
in reproductive age except ectopic pregnancy
30. Hospital admission (CDC-
2010)criteria
Patient meeting following criteria
1. Generalized peritonitis
2.Patient is pregnant
3.Patient does not respond to oral antimicrobial therapy
4.Patient is unable to follow or tolerate an outpatient oral regimen
5.Patient has sever illness , nausea and vomitting or high grade fever
6. Patient has tubo- ovarian abscess
7.WBC>15000/cumm
8.Temperature>101f
31. Organism Antibiotics
N. Gonorrhea Cephalosporins, Quinolones
Chlamydia Doxycycline , Erythromycin &Quinolones
Anaerobic Organism Metronidazole, Clindamycin and in some
cases to doxycyclin
B-Haemolytic Streptococci and e-
coli
Penincillin derivatives, tetracyclines and
cephalosporins
37. Management (surgery in acute
PID)
INDICATIONS
1. Ruptured Abscess
2. Failed response to medical treatment
3.Uncertain diagnosis
TYPE OF SURGERIES
1.Colpotomy
2. Percutaneous Drainage /Aspiration
3.Exploratory Lparotomy
EXTEND OF SURGERIES
1.Conservation – if fertilty desired
2.U/L or B/L sal. Oophorectomy with / without hysterectomy
3.Drainage of abscess at laparotomy
39. Complications
Complications of PID
1.Dyspareunia
2.Infertility: due to tubal factor
• 12% after single episode
• 25% after two episodes
• 50% after three episodes
3.Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy
• 6-10% increase in risk following H/o PID
4. Formation of adhesions or hydrosalpinx or pyosalpinx and TO abscess
5. Chronic Pelvic inflammation
Due to recurrent or associated pyogenic infection /TB
6.Chronic Pelvic pain and ill health
40. Prevention
PRIMARY PREVENTION
1.Sexual Counscelling
• Practice safe sex
• Limit number of sexual partners
• Avoid contact with high risk partners
• Delay in sexual activity untill 18 ears of age
2.Barrier methods and oral contraceptives reduce risk
SECONDARY PREVENTION
1. Screening for infections in high risk population
2.Rapid diagnosis & effective treatment of STD & UTI
TERTIARY PREVENTION
1. Early intervention and complete treatment
