PID: | -complications ?
- **Infertility: 15%-24% with 1 episode of PID 2/2 GC or chlamydia - **7X risk of ectopic pregnancy with 1 episode of PID - chronic pelvic pain in 18% (Normal human fallopian tube is ciliated to help move the egg along through the fallopian tube, BUT w/ PID, it attacks the cilia. So less ciliary movement, and this can cause the egg to get stuck (predisposes to ectopic)

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: | -Additional Diagnostic Criteria (list)
- Oral temp >101 F(38.3 C) -Elevated ESR - Cervical CT or GC -Elevated CRP - WBCs/saline microscopy -Cervical discharge
158
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: | -admit or no?
-many cases the Pt is Hospitalized**
159
PID: | -list circumstances when the Pt must be hospitalized
- Surgical emergencies not excluded - **Pregnancy - Clinical failure of oral antimicrobials - Inability to follow or tolerate oral regimen - Severe illness, N/V, high fever - Tubo-ovarian abscess
160
PID: | -Parenteral vs oral regimens
-No efficacy data compare parenteral with oral regimens - Clinical experience should guide decisions regarding transition to oral therapy - **Until regimens that do NOT adequately cover anaerobes have been demonstrated to prevent sequelae as successfully as regimens active against these microbes, regimens should provide anaerobic coverage
161
PID:Parenteral Regimen A
``` **Cefotetan 2 g IV q 12 hours or ***Cefoxitin 2 g IV q 6 hours PLUS Doxycycline 100 mg orally/IV q 12 hrs ``` (cefotetan and cefoxitin covers GC)
162
PID: Parenteral Regimen B
Clindamycin 900 mg IV q8 hrs PLUS Gentamicin loading dose IV/IM (2 mg/kg) followed by maintenance dose (1.5 mg/kg) q 8 hours. Single daily dosing may be substituted
163
PID: oral regimen
``` **Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM in a single dose PLUS Doxycycline 100 mg PO BID for 14 days WITH or WITHOUT Metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 14 days ``` (KNOW)
164
PID: Management of Sex Partners - Male sex partners of women with PID should be: - Sex partners should be treated empirically with:
- examined and treated for sexual contact 60 days preceding pt’s onset of symptoms - regimens effective against CT and GC (ie ceftriaxone plus azith or doxy)
