What are the most common pathogens in pelvis inflammatory disease?
Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae
What are the potential complications of pelvic inflammatory disease?
Tubal damage resulting in infertility and ectopic pregnancy, peritonitis secondary to uterine or tubo-ovarian abscess rupture, peritoneal adhesions resulting in bowel obstruction and/or hydroureteronephrosis, and right upper abdominal inflammation.
What should you consider in patients suspected with PID who present also with right upper quadrant pain?
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome
There are strands of soft tissue permeation (mesenteric stranding) throughout the pelvis, right lower quadrant and right paracolic gutter. These regions are associated with local peritoneal thickening and enhancement. Inflammatory change extends to the liver, which exhibits transient hepatic attenuation differences in the right liver margin.
