Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is a rare complication of pelvic inflammatory disease. We report a case of a 21-year-old African American female presenting with inspiratory dyspnea and right upper quadrant pain found to be secondary to FHCS. The patient received antibiotic therapy, as well as testing of her sexual partners. This case demonstrates the importance of avoidance of biases such as anchoring, resulting in proper treatment and management of a rare disease entity.
菲茨-休-柯蒂斯综合征(FHCS)是盆腔炎的一种罕见并发症。我们报告一例21岁非裔美国女性病例,该患者因FHCS继发出现吸气性呼吸困难和右上腹疼痛。患者接受了抗生素治疗,并对其性伴侣进行了检测。该病例表明避免诸如锚定等偏差的重要性,从而对罕见病实体进行恰当的治疗和管理。
