Abstract:
A significant proportion of women with PID will have their disease complicated by a TOC. We conclude that it is appropriate in women with this stage of PID to treat initially with clindamycin and an aminoglycoside. In addition, since more than half of the women will suffer reproductive difficulties, efforts to improve early diagnosis and therapy should continue. Based on our data, an early infertility evaluation is indicated in women wishing to conceive after complicated PID.
