ABSTRACT

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is one of the most urgent problems in modern gynecology. Pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) have a leading position not only in the structure of gynecological morbidity, but also are the most frequent cause of damage to the reproductive health of women, thereby creating health, social and economic problems. The actual incidence of PID is indeterminable due to lack of reliable diagnostic techniques as well as asymptomatic nature of the disease. In the present study an attempt has been made to search the incidence of PID cases as well as its consequences in the women along with the etiological agents and their sensitivity pattern against the presently recommended antibiotics for the treatment of PID. The findings suggest that PID is most prevalent in women of reproductive age groups. Total 12 different genera viz. Neisseria, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Staphylococcus, Streptococci, Bacteroides, Enterococcus, Salmonella, Shigella, and Candida species respectively may be the predominant etiological agent for the onset of PID. The antibiotics viz. Azithromycin, Gentamycin, Ofloxacin and flucanozole significantly inhibited the growth of above cited pathogens. Hence, these drugs may be prescribed as the choice of drug for PID treatment.

Keywords: Pelvic inflammatory disease, etiological agents, sensitivity pattern, antibiotics.
