PELVIC INFLAMMATORY 
DISEASE (PID) 
“WHAT MORE CAN WE DO ?? “
INTRODUCTION 
• PID is a major co-morbidity in young sexually active 
women 
• The prevalence of PID increased worldwide 
• Usually results from sexually transmitted pathogens 
ascending from the lower to upper genital tract 
• PID is important as it can have long term sequela
OOPHORITIS 
SALPINGITIS/ 
HYDROSALPINX 
ENDOMETRITIS 
PELVIC 
PERITONITIS/ 
ABSCESS 
TUBO-OVARIAN 
ABSCESS
LONG TERM SEQUELA OF PID… 
CHRONIC PELVIC 
PAIN 
INFERTILITY 
ECTOPIC 
PREGNANCY
CAUSATIVE ORGANISMS… 
• PID is a polymicrobial infection 
• Neisseria gonorrhea 
• Chlamydia trachomatis 
• Others-Gardnerella vaginalis, anaerobes (Prevotella, 
Atopobium, Leptotrichia) & Mycoplasma genitalium
WHO GETS PID?... 
• Young age (<25) 
• Multiple sexual partners 
• Past history of STI 
• Termination of pregnancy 
• Procedure- Hysterosalpingography (HSG), IVF 
• Smoker
SYMPTOMS…. 
• Can be symptomatic or asymptomatic 
• Lower abdominal pain which is typically bilateral 
• Fever (> 38 degree) 
• Deep dyspareunia 
• Chronic pelvic pain 
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding- post-coital bleed, inter-menstrual 
bleed, menorrhagia 
• Abnormal vaginal or cervical discharge- which is often 
purulent
SIGNS 
• Fever 
• Lower abdominal tenderness 
• Cervical motion tenderness on bimanual examination 
• Abnormal vaginal or cervical discharge- which is often 
purulent 
Gonorrhea Chlamydia 
*Clinical signs & symptoms lack sensitivity & specificity
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS 
NEED TO RULE OUT…. 
1.ECTOPIC PREGNANCY 
2.OVARIAN ACCIDENT 
3.APPENDICITIS 
4.IRRITABLE BOWEL 
SYNDROME 
5.INFLAMMATORY BOWEL 
DISEASE 
6.URINARY TRACT 
INFECTION 
7.BOWEL TORSION 
8.PSYCHOSOMATIC PAIN
DIAGNOSIS…. 
• The investigations available to diagnose PID are lack of 
sensitivity 
1. Blood tests 
- Raised WCC (neutrophilia suggestive of acute inflammatory 
process) 
- Reduced WCC (neutropenia in severe infection) 
- Raised CRP and ESR
2. Microbiological tests… 
NEISSERIA GONORRHEA CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS 
1.Endocervical swab 
-should be placed in transport medium 
-must reached lab within 6H but less 
than 24H otherwise viability will be lost 
1.Endocervical swab for chlamydia 
NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test) 
-More sensitive than culture 
-Can be used as diagnostic / screening 
test on non invasively collected 
specimens (urine and vaginal swabs)
What SGH Lab has to offer for 
Gonorrhea? 
• SGH lab does not have NAATs yet. 
• Current investigation that our lab has is Culture 
• As long as the technique of sample collection is accurate, 
Culture offers a high sensitivity of getting a diagnosis.
What SGH Lab has to offer for 
Chlamydia? 
• Immunofluorescence 
• A special collection kit is available in SGH Lab 
• Proper smear and fixing of sample is require in order to 
run the investigation. 
• During office hour, lab technician can help us do the test
3.Radiology investigations 
ULTRASOUND 
-may also be helpful 
-insufficent evidence to support 
their routine use 
-present of adnexa mass, 
hydrosalpinx or fluid collection in 
POD 
LAPAROSCOPY 
-may strongly support the dx 
-not routinely done due to cost & 
invasive 
-The Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome 
 adhesion between liver and 
peritoneal surface (typical violin 
string appearance)
SCREENING FOR STIs… 
1.Women who tested positive for gonorrhea and chlamydia 
2.Women at higher risk of STIs – multiple sexual partner 
3.Previous history of STI 
HIV 
VDRL 
HEPATITIS B/C 
# REMEMBER to screen husband or partner
AIMS of management…. 
1.Start treatment as early as possible to prevent long term 
sequelae 
Long term sequelae 
Ectopic pregnancy 
Infertility 
Chronic pelvic pain 
2.To investigate and treat sexual partner in order to prevent 
re-infection
General measures.. 
• Rest is advised for those with severe disease 
• UPT test should be performed 
• Appropriate analgesia 
• Avoid unprotected intercourse until completed treatment 
• Contact tracing
TREATMENT… 
• Low threshold for empirical treatment of PID is 
recommended depends on severity 
• Broad spectrum antibiotic is required to cover 
1.Neisseria Gonorrhea 
2.Chlamydia trachomatis 
3.Aerobic & anaerobic bacteria 
• Outpatient – as effective as inpatient treatment with 
clinically mild to moderate PID
Antibiotic regimes 
• OUTPATIENT REGIMES.. 
1.IM ceftriaxone 500mg stat 
-followed by T.Doxycycline 100mg bd and T.Metronidazole 
400mg bd for 2 weeks 
Or 
2.T.Ofloxacin 400mg bd and T.Metronidazole 400mg bd for 
2 weeks
• ALTERNATIVE REGIMES 
1.IM Ceftriaxone 500mg stat 
-followed by T.Azithromycin 1g/week for 2 weeks 
(# evidence is limited but may be used if previous treatment 
are not appropiate eg allergy/ intolerance) 
Or 
2.T.Moxifloxacin 400mg od for 2 weeks
• INPATIENT REGIMES 
• Severe infection 
• Adnexal mass suspicious of abscess 
• Generalized sepsis 
• Poor/ inadequate response to oral treatment 
• Severe pelvic/ abdominal pain requiring strong analgesics 
• Intravenous therapy should be continued until 24hours 
after clinical improvement and followed by oral therapy
• REGIMES.. 
1.IV Ceftriaxone 2g od & IV Doxycycline followed by 
T.Doxycycline 100 mg od & T.Metronidazole 400mg bd for 2 
weeks 
Or 
2.IV Clindamycin 900mg tds & IV Gentamicin (2mg/kg loading 
dose) then 1.5mg/kg tds followed by 
T.Clindamycin 450mg qid or 
T.Doxycycline 100mg bd & T.Metronidazole 400mg nd for 2 
weeks
• ALTERNATIVE REGIMES 
1.IV Ofloxacin 400mg bd & IV Metronidazole 500mg tds for 
2 weeks 
Or 
2.IV Ciprofloxacin 200mg & IV Doxycycline 100mg bd & IV 
Metronidazole 500mg tds for 2 weeks
SURGICAL TREATMENT.. 
• Should be considered in following situations 
-a surgical emergency cannot be excluded 
-lack of response to oral therapy 
-clinically severe disease 
-presence of a tubo-ovarian abscess 
-intolerance to oral therapy 
-pregnancy
• LAPAROSCOPY 
-dividing adhessions and draining pelvic abscess 
• LAPAROTOMY 
-digital divission of all adhessions and any loculated area of 
abscess formation 
• ULTRASOUND GUIDED ASPIRATION 
-less invasive 
-can be done if small abscess or collection at POD
TREAT PARTNER… 
• Current male partner of women with PID should be 
contacted 
• Offered health advice 
• Screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia 
• TX: IM Ceftriaxone 500mg stat 
#Advice avoid SI until completed treatment
FOLLOW UP… 
• Review in 2-4 weeks to ensure 
-adequate clinical response to treatment 
-compliance with oral antibiotics 
-screening and treatment of sexual contacts 
-awareness of long term sequale of PID 
-repeat UPT if indicated 
• Repeat testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia after 2-4 
weeks in those with persistent symptoms
WHAT MORE CAN WE 
DO??
1.PREVENTION 
• Monogamous relationship 
• Early onset of sexual intercourse 
• Avoidance of high risk behaviour
• Health education & Sex education 
• Our DILEMMA !! 
-Sex education should not be discussed in school 
-Limited or no access for education & information on 
reproductive sexual health care 
-Policies often restrict adolescent’s access to information & 
services (eg contraception)
• NATIONAL STRATEGIES 
1.School based health, life, sex & relationship education 
2.Campaigns & media 
3.Availability of contraception 
• Co-ordination- national, state, district
• Barrier methods 
-consistent use of barrier methods has been shown to 
reduce the risk of recurrent episodes of pelvic infection & 
long term sequela by 30-60%
• There is significant risk of introducing infection into the 
upper genital tract when instrumenting the uterus 
• Ensure sterility during procedure (ERPOC, HSG, IVF) 
• Avoid illegal termination
2.SCREENING 
• UNIVERSAL VS SELECTIVE 
• To screen all women or high risk women? 
• Cost effective or not? 
VS
3.CONTACT TRACING 
• Tracing contact within a 6 month period of onset of 
symptoms is recommended 
• Must get proper sexual history from the patient 
• Patient’s co-operation !!
4.NOTIFICATIONS 
• Notification system those with STIs or PID? 
• Where and how to notify? 
• Does it break patient’s confidentiality?
