Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) remains a relevant public health concern due to long-term effects on reproductive potential. Despite being the most common gynecologic infection,programs focusing on prevention are lacking.

The treatment of PID should include antimicrobials with activity against common sexually transmitted pathogens as well as other vaginal microflora.
