Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a bacterial infection centered in the fal lopian tubes, is increasingly encountered among adolescents seen by the pedia trician. This review describes two cases representative of gonococcal and non gonococcal PID and the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treat ment of this disorder are discussed. Emphasis is placed on management by the primary care pediatrician and indications for gynecologic consultation.
