Abstract
Statistics suggest that the adolescents have a higher rate of diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease than any other age group. Early recognition improves the chances of preventing the long-term consequences of ectopic pregnancy and tubal infertility. For a significant number of teens, the symptoms are mild or vague, requiring a high index of suspicion by the physician to initiate treatment. The purpose of this article is to review the currently accepted guidelines for diagnosis and management of pelvic inflammatory disease in the adolescent patient.
