Diagnostic Criteria
CDC has developed a diagnostic criteria for prompt treatment of PID based on clinical manifestations to minimize its sequelae.[1]
| Minimum diagnostic criteria
(at least 1 must be present) |
Additional diagnostic criteria
(at least 1 must be present), increases specificity |
Definitive diagnostic criteria |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
- The minimum diagnostic criteria are intended to have a high sensitivity with the goal of detecting as many cases of PID as possible.
- Additional criteria support the diagnosis of PID with greater specificity, while definitive criteria confirm the diagnosis.[1]
