Canine herpesvirus is an infectious disease that is a common cause of death in puppies less than three weeks old. [7] Pseudorabies (Morbus Aujeszky) is an infectious disease that primarily affects swine, but can also cause a fatal disease in dogs with signs similar to rabies. [8]
Pelvic inflammatory disease is more likely to reoccur when there is a prior history of the infection, recent sexual contact, recent onset of menses, or an IUD (intrauterine device) in place or if the partner has a sexually transmitted infection. [27]

Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome occurs almost exclusively in women, though it can be seen in males rarely. [5] It is complication of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (Chlamydia) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea) though other bacteria such as Bacteroides, Gardnerella, E. coli and Streptococcus have also been found to cause Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome on occasion. [6]
If left untreated in both men and women, chlamydia can infect the urinary tract and potentially lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause serious problems during pregnancy and even has the potential to cause infertility. It can cause a woman to have a potentially deadly ectopic pregnancy, in which the egg implants outside of the ...
Mycoplasma hominis is associated with pelvic inflammatory disease [3] [4] and bacterial vaginosis. [5] It is also associated with male infertility. [6] This species causes a sexually transmitted infection. [7] It is susceptible to the antibiotic clindamycin. [8]
Klebsiella granulomatis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Klebsiella [1] known to cause the sexually transmitted infection granuloma inguinale (or donovanosis).
