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]
Asthma Presents with cough, dyspnea and wheezing and typically is a chronic condition which has started from childhood.[3]
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease May present with chronic, dry cough but the typical symptom is heart burn.[4][5]





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