PID is a common infection in reproductive-age women that presents an enormous public health and economic burden. It is responsible for much short- and long-term morbidity that may necessitate interventions subsequent to the original infection. Mild PID seems to be much more common than severe or "classic" PID, and the importance of early recognition and treatment cannot be understated. Current treatment regimens seem to be effective in terms of immediate clinical efficacy. As we learn more about the frequency and importance of subclinical PID, the true burden of upper genital tract infection upon reproductive age women continues to be elucidated.
盆腔炎是育龄期女性常见的感染性疾病，给公共卫生和经济带来了巨大负担。它会导致许多短期和长期的发病情况，可能需要在初次感染后进行干预。轻度盆腔炎似乎比严重或“典型”的盆腔炎更为常见，早期识别和治疗的重要性不容小觑。就即时临床疗效而言，目前的治疗方案似乎是有效的。随着我们对亚临床盆腔炎的发生频率和重要性有了更多了解，上生殖道感染对育龄期女性的真正负担仍在不断被阐明。
