PID .pptx

This document discusses Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), including its definition, causes, risk factors, types (acute and chronic), symptoms, signs, investigations, differential diagnoses, management, and treatment. PID is an infection of the female upper genital tract caused by bacteria that enter through the cervix. The most common causes are Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Without treatment, PID can lead to long-term complications like infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Management involves antibiotic therapy and treating sexual partners to prevent reinfection.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Dr Sabuhi Qureshi
Definition Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to acute infection of the upper genital tract structures in women, involving any or all of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Early diagnosis and treatment are believed to be key elements in the prevention of long- term sequelae, such as infertility and ectopic pregnancy
PID is primarily a disease of sexually active women. The two most important sexually transmitted organisms associated with acute PID are Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Polymicrobial infection
• PID is a polymicrobial infection. • Acute PID is an ascending infection caused by cervical as well as the vaginal microflora, including anaerobic organisms
• Cervical microorganisms - Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae) • Vaginal microflora, including anaerobic organisms, enteric gram-negative rods, streptococci, genital mycoplasmas, and Gardnerella vaginalis, which is associated bacterial vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis results in complex alterations of the normal vaginal flora, which may alter host defense mechanisms in the cervicovaginal environment
Types • Acute PID • Chronic PID
Pathology of Acute PID • Inflammed, fluid filled tubes • Pyosalpinx • Tubo- Ovarian Abscess • Pelvic abscess • Pelvic/general peritonitis.
Pelvic adhesions
Hydrosalpinx

Pelvic abscess- usg TVS

• Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome – Inflammation of the liver capsule can occur with chlamydia and gonococcal infection. • Patient has right upper quadrant pain & liver tenderness.
Chronic PID Women who are inadequately treated, untreated or have recurrent infections, chronic PID ensues.
Chronic PID- Pathology • Tubo ovarian mass • Pyosalpinx pus • Hydrosalpinx • Frozen pelvis
Risk Factors for PID • Young age • Low socioeconomic status • Multiple sex partners • Unmarried/ widowed women • Past h/o STI • Vaginal douching • IUCD for 3 weeks after insertion • Smoking/ substance abuse.
Complications/ Sequelae • Pelvic peritonitis • General peritonitis • Rupture of tubo- ovarian abscess • Sub diagphragmatic/ perinephric abscess • Septic thrombophlebitis • Septiceamia
Sequelae • Ectopic pregnancy • Infertility • Chronic pelvic pain
Acute PID - Symptoms • Lower abdominal pain • Abnormal vaginal discharge • Fever • AUB • Dyspareunia- deep • Nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, tenesmus • Right upper quadrant pain
Acute PID - signs • Lower abdominal tenderness • Liver tenderness • Signs of peritonitis • Abnormal vaginal discharge • Mucopus exuding from os • Cervical motion tenderness • Adenexal tenderness/ mass • Fullness in POD- pelvic abscess
Investigation – acute PID • Hgm including TLC & DLC, ESR, CRP • Endocervical d/s for pus cells & NAAT for chlamydia & gonorrhoea • Vaginal d/s for wet saline & KOH test • Urine c&s • TVS- TOmass, Pyo or hydrosalpinx,Pelvic abscess, free peritoneal fluid & to exclude ectopic preg
D/D of acute PID • Ectopic pregnancy • Torsion/ rupture of ovarian cyst • Endometriosis • Acute appendicitis • UTI • Diverticulitis • IBS • IBD
• Laparoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis. • But not performed as routine • Indicated in patients who do not respond to initial therapy or diagnosis is doubtful.
Management of acute PID • Assess the need for hospitalization • Antimicrobial therapy • Treatment of partners • Counselling • Assessment of response to therapy • Decision regarding surgical intervention • Follow-up for sequelae.
Indications for hospitalization • Diagnosis is in doubt • Lack of response or tolerance to oral medications • Nonadherence to therapy • Inability to take oral medications due to nausea and vomiting
• Severe clinical illness (high fever, nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain) • Complicated PID with pelvic abscess (including tuboovarian abscess) • Possible need for surgical intervention or diagnostic exploration for alternative etiology (eg, appendicitis)
CDC guideline for acute PID –inpatient therapy Cefoxitin (2 g intravenously every 6 hours) or cefotetan (2 g IV every 12 hours) plus Doxycycline (100 mg orally every 12 hours). I/V therapy is discontinued 24 hrs after patient is fever free.. Continue oral doxy for 14 days.
Regimen B Clindamycin (900 mg intravenously every 8 hours) plus gentamicin loading dose (2 mg/kg of body weight) followed by a maintenance dose (1.5 mg/kg) every 8 hours. Single daily intravenous dosing of gentamicin may be substituted for three times daily dosing
Indications for surgical intervention • USG guided pus aspiration- Pelvic abscess, subhepatic abscess • Posterior colpotomy- Pelvic abscess • Laparoscopic aspiration of pus or drainage or adhesiolysis • Laparotmy for to abscess/ or rupture of same or multiple collection in abdomen • Salpingoopherectomy.
Management of Sexual partners • Contact partners within 6 months of onset of disease. • Screen for gonococcal/chlamydial infection • If screening not possible, start empirical therapy. • Avoid intercourse till the partner completes treatment.
Counseling • Early treatment reduces the risk of sequelae but does not eliminate it. • Barrier contraception reduces risk • Recurrence of infection increases the risk of infertility. • Sexual partner must be treated.
Chronic PID- symptoms • History of previous infection. • Lower abdominal pain • Deep dyspareunia • Congestive dysmenorrhoea • Menorrhagia, polymenorrhoea, polymenorrhagia • Chronic pelvic pain • Infertility
Signs of Chronic PID • Abdominal examination- Tenderness, mass arising from pelvis • Per speculum examination- Vaginal/ Cervical discharge • Pelvic examination- Fixed r/v tender uterus, adenexal tenderness, pelvic mass, hydrosalpinx, tubo- ovarian mass. • Frozen pelvis
Diffrential diagnosis • Endometriosis • Chronic ectopic pregnancy
Investigation • USG may reveal hydro/ pyosalpinx, TO mass, Ovarian endometrioma • Laparoscopy may be required for diagnosis & therapy.
Management of Chronic PID • Laparoscopy- adhesiolysis, salpingo- opherectomy • Laparotomy- Adhesiolysis, Salpingo- opherectomy. • Hysterctomy with bilateral salpingo- opherectomy
Cervicitis • Ectocervix is susceptible to HSV, HPV, Mycoplasma. • Endocervix- is infected by Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea. • Infection is sexually transmitted. • Asymptomatic infection in many. • Symptomatic infection gives rise to muco- pus
Diagnostic criteria • Ectopy of glandular epithelium • Friable epithelium • Bleeds on touch • Mucopus seen frm os • 10 or more neutrophils on gram stained smear
• Rule out Syphilis & HIV
Diagnosis • Gram staining intracellular diplococci, culture, NAAT, Culture & sensitivity • Chlamydia- Gram staining- pus cells>10 /HPF, Culture, NAAT, Direct fluorescent antigen.
Gram positive intracellular gonococci
Treatment- Gonorrhea • Ceftraixone 125mg IM single dose • Or • Cefixime 400 mgm stat oral dose • Or • Spectinomycin 2gm IM single dose
Treatment- Chlamydia • Azithromycin 1gm stat oral dose • Or • Doxy 100mgm BD for 7 days orally. • Or • Ofloxacin 300 mgm BD orally bfor 7 days.
Syndromic Management • Government of India programme for control of STI & RTI. • Treatment of vaginitis, cervicitis or PID on the basis of history( symptoms) & examination ( signs). • Done where investigation facilities are not available. • Immediate starting of treatment without lab results
• Syndrome of vaginal discharge • Syndrome of lower abdominal pain • Treatment- fix dose drugs to be taken by patient in the clinic. • Suraksha clinics have been satrted for RTI/STI control.
• Kit 1- Azithromycin 1gm stat plus Cefixime 400 mgm stat.- cervicitis • Kit 2- Fluconazole 150 mgm stat plus Secnidazole 2gms stat- vaginitis. • Kit 6- Doxy 100 mgm BD for 14 days plus Metrogyl 400 mgm BD for 14 days plus Cefixime 400 mgm stat. • Kit 1 is also used for partner management.
