Pelvic inflammatory disease, also known as pelvic inflammatory disorder (PID), is an infection of the upper part of the female reproductive system, mainly the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, and inside of the pelvis. [5] [2] Often, there may be no symptoms. [1]
Typical treatment of severe disease first involves treatment with amphotericin B, followed by oral itraconazole.

Mycoplasma hominis is an opportunistic human mycoplasma species residing in the lower urogenital tract. [10] It is a common human urogenital Mycoplasma species that lacks a cell wall. Due to the absence of the cell wall, M. hominis is innately resistant to β-lactams and to all antibiotics which target the cell wall. [ 11 ]
The precise role this organism plays in causing disease remains speculative. [4] Diagnosis remains a challenge because the organism is difficult to culture in vitro. PCR-based techniques are still rare outside research scenarios. [5] The following conditions have been linked to Mycoplasma hominis: [citation needed]
Several Mycoplasma species can cause disease, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia (formerly known as "walking pneumonia"), and M. genitalium, which has been associated with pelvic inflammatory diseases. Mycoplasma infections in humans are associated with skin eruptions in 17% of cases. [41]: 293
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 ...
Mycoplasmataceae is a family of bacteria [1] in the order Mycoplasmatales. This family consists of the genera Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. In 1967, the order Mycoplasmatales was incorporated into the class Mollicutes. [2] Many species are sexually transmitted and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. [3]
This is a list of primary immunodeficiencies (PID), which are immune deficiencies that are not secondary to another condition.. The International Union of Immunological Societies recognizes nine classes of primary immunodeficiencies, totaling approximately 430 conditions.
