Epidemiology and Demographics
- In the United States, more than one million women are affected by PID each year, and the rate is highest with teenagers.
- Approximately 50,000 women become infertile in the US each year from PID.
- N. gonorrhoea is isolated in only 40-60% of women with acute salpingitis [1] . C. trachomatis was estimated to be the cause in about 60% of cases of salpingitis, which may lead to PID.
- Each year in the United States, it is estimated that more than 750,000 women experience an episode of acute PID. Up to 10-15% of these women may become infertile as a result of PID. A large proportion of the ectopic pregnancies occurring every year are due to the consequences of PID.

NOTE: The relative standard errors for acute and unspecified pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) cases ranges from 8%–18%. The relative standard error for chronic PID cases ranges from 12%–28%. Data only available through 2010.
