Many women with lower genital tract infections associated with sexually transmitted pathogens have evidence of upper genital tract inflammation despite the absence of symptoms and signs traditionally associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). New biomarkers are needed to identify these women with clinically mild PID or subclinical PID (silent salpingitis) to facilitate initiation of early treatment and ameliorate the sequelae associated with upper genital tract infection and inflammation.
许多患有与性传播病原体相关的下生殖道感染的女性尽管没有传统上与盆腔炎（PID）相关的症状和体征，但仍有上生殖道炎症的证据。需要新的生物标志物来识别这些患有临床轻度 PID 或亚临床 PID（无症状输卵管炎）的女性，以促进早期治疗的开展，并改善与上生殖道感染和炎症相关的后遗症。
