Overview

Pelvic inflammatory disease must be differentiated from ectopic pregnancy, ovarian torsion, ovarian tumor, ruptured ovarian cysts, appendicitis, and urinary tract infection.

Differentiating Pelvic inflammatory disease from other Diseases

Disease Findings
Ectopic pregnancy History of missed menses, positive pregnancy test, ultrasound reveals an empty uterus and may show a mass in the fallopian tubes.[1]
Appendicitis Pain localized to the right iliac fossa, vomiting, abdominal ultrasound sensitivity for diagnosis of acute appendicitis is 75% to 90%.[2]
Ruptured ovarian cyst usually spontaneous, can follow history of trauma; mild chronic lower abdominal discomfort may suddenly intensify, ultrasound is diagnostic.[3]
Ovarian cyst torsion Present with acute severe unilateral lower quadrant abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, tender adnexal mass palpated in 90%, ultrasound is diagnostic.[4]
Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst Presents with localized abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Hypovolemic shock may be present; abdominal tenderness and guarding are physical exam findings, ultrasound is diagnostic.[4]
Endometriosis Present with cyclic pain that is exacerbated by onset of menses and during the luteal phase; dyspareuni, transvaginal ultrasound is suggestive, laparascopic exploration is diagnostic.[4] Diverticulitis Present with bowel symptoms in older women Acute cystitis Features with increased frequency and urgency, dysuria, and suprapubic pain.[5][6]





Culdocentesis will differentiate hemoperitoneum (ruptured ectopic pregnancy or hemorrhagic cyst) from pelvic sepsis (salpingitis, ruptured pelvic abscess, or ruptured appendix).
