Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female upper genital tract structures involving the uterus, oviducts, ovaries, and/or other surrounding pelvic organs. Clinical diagnosis of PID is of utmost importance as there is currently no single gold standard diagnostic test. Here, we present a case of a 47-year-old woman presenting with left lower quadrant abdominal and suprapubic pain who was found to have PID complicated by tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA). This case highlights the importance of a thorough history and physical exam in the diagnosis of PID.
盆腔炎（PID）是女性上生殖道结构的感染，包括子宫、输卵管、卵巢和/或其他周围盆腔器官。由于目前尚无单一的金标准诊断测试，PID的临床诊断至关重要。在此，我们报告一例47岁女性，表现为左下腹和耻骨上疼痛，被发现患有盆腔炎并发输卵管卵巢脓肿（TOA）。该病例强调了详细的病史和体格检查在PID诊断中的重要性。
