The use of Procalcitonin Semi Q in acute pelvic inflammatory disease Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is defined as an ascending infection of the upper genital tract leading to infection of the endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries and peritoneum. Acute PID is an ill understood, inaccurately diagnosed inadequately treated condition. This often leads to potentially serious squeal such as disseminated infection, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, increased risk of reinfection and chronic pelvic pain. Diagnostic difficulties of acute PID are compounded by the wide variety of clinical presentation. Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy of PID is a daily challenge for doctors. Other diagnostic modalities beside clinical signs and symptoms include: C reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, both these tests have been extensively studied and seem to do equally well in term of sensitivity and specificity. Among the newest markers for evaluation of severity , procalcitonin has the highest diagnostic accuracy. Procalcitonin levels rise rapidly after infectious insult with systemic consequences. Daily changes of plasma PCT levels can give an indication of the course of the disease and the prognosis of the septics complications. The priorities in combating pelvic inflammatory disease is to identify the high risk population, educated them find cost effective diagnostic tests. Research needs to address speedy and early diagnosis on an outpatient basis and to identify women who are greatest risk of developing the squeal of pelvic inflammatory disease.
