Program Information PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Mucopurulent cervicitis (MPC) is frequently encountered in diverse clinical settings, and may be predictive of the presence of STD pathogens which can cause upper genital tract infections. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) occurs in about 1 million women annually in the United States with costs exceeding $ 4.2 billion. Following a single episode of PID, approximately 25% of women will develop sequelae which include ectopic pregnancy, infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Practitioners face many challenges when managing these clinical syndromes: what are the diagnostic criteria, which laboratory test for the detection of STD pathogens should we use, how can we prevent sequelae, who should we screen ? How common is silent PID ? We will address these issues during our program, and more.
