Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tube, and ovaries as it progresses to scar leading to infertility and other reproductive problems. This research work was conducted to determine the etiology, antibiogram and prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease among women attending Public Health Centres in Sokoto metropolis. The main objective of the study is to isolate the pathogens and determine the antibiotics sensitivity pattern and prevalence age of the Disease among the patients diagnosed with PID. 155 PID patients that were sorted by age and month were diagnosed within the year 2020. Laboratory assay on the etiology and antibiogram were carried out. From the total (155) patients diagnosed with PID in this study, thirty-three (33) were within the age of 15-20, forty-one (41) were between the ages of 21-25 and fifty-five (55) were between the age ranges of 26-30. The least (26) were between ages of 36 and 40. The highest prevalence age (35.5%) in this study were observed to fall between the ages of 26-30 then followed by forty-one patients (26.5%) prevalence that were between the ages of 21-25. The least in occurrence were 26 patients (8.4%) that were between the age range of 36 and 40. Similarly, the results obtained from this study revealed that there were 77 (49.67%) recorded in the first quarter of the year 2020. This was then followed by 48 (30.97%) patients in the last quarter. The least occurrence of PID patients 30 (19.35%) were diagnosed in the second quarter of the same year. The pathogens consistently identified to be associated with the disease were Neisseria gonorrhea and ciprofloxacin was the most sensitive on antibiogram. The factors responsible were poor personal hygiene, environmental pollution and unsanitary conditions of the toilets. It is recommended that patients should regularly visit health facilities for routine diagnosis of PID and ciprofloxacin and Broad spectrum antibiotics were the most efficacious for use in this study in the treatment of Pelvic inflammatory Disease.

The woman who is in a state of gestation tends to create fears implanted by rumors of society about labor, the main fear is the pain caused by labor. Only through a comprehensive, adequate, timely preparation will favorable results be achieved; by obstetric psychoprophylaxis. The research was carried out in two Health Centers in different regions of Ecuador. The Cerecita health center is located in the Cerecita enclosure, Guayaquil canton, Guayas province and the Cumandá health center which is located in the Cumandá canton within the Chimborazo province. This research work corresponds to a descriptive, analytical, non-experimental, cross-sectional study, with a correlational design. The sample consists of 198 pregnant women from the health centers of Cerecita (94) and Cumandá (104) Ecuador, nulliparous and multiparous who attended sessions of Obstetric Psychoprophylaxis that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results obtained were: in the age range in which the pregnant women were from the study carried out was between 14 and 19 years with a total of 95 patients, the attitude to practice psychoprophylaxis (PPO) with 102 patients performed Between 3 and 4 sessions, in the hours of labor the largest number with a total of 98 pregnant women were between 5 to 7 hours in this period, while 100 had a low pain threshold. Of the study group 159 pregnant women were eutocic births, the pregnant women of the Cumandá health center presented difficulties in attending the obstetric psychoprophylaxis sessions.

Zusammenfassung. Die Adnexitis, im anglo-amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch hat sich der Sammelbegriff Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) durchgesetzt, stellt ein häufiges medizinisches Problem dar. Die Diagnose einer PID kann schwierig sein, da die klinischen Manifestationen unspezifisch sind und sie andere Becken- und Bauchprozesse imitieren können. Infektionen im Bereich der Adnexen können schwerwiegend sein und Langzeitkomplikationen (chronische Unterbauchschmerzen, Infertilität) verursachen, weshalb eine rasche Diagnosestellung und der frühzeitige Beginn einer adäquaten Antibiotika Therapie von grosser Wichtigkeit sind. Unkomplizierte PID haben meistens einen günstigen Verlauf, bei komplizierten Formen mit Tuboovarialabzess ist meist eine operative Exploration notwendig.

Fibrinolytic Parameters

SummaryPrevious studies have shown that the fibrinolytic activity of peritoneum is depressed in local inflammation. We measured fibrinolytic parameters in peritoneal fluid and in plasma of 10 women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Nine women, in whom laparoscopy for sterilisation was performed, served as a control group.In the peritoneal fluid of women with PID, PAI-Ag, t-PA-Ag and u-PA-Ag were many times higher than in the control group. In contrast to the antigens which may be present in inert complexes, the potentially active compounds, measured as t-PA activity and plasmin-activable scu-PA, were not significantly different in the two groups, and in none of the samples was the active enzyme tcu-PA detectable. Nevertheless, the mean peritoneal fluid TDP and FbDP concentrations were about twenty times higher in the PID group than in the control group. In plasma of PID patients, none of the parameters except u-PA-Ag differed from those in the control group. The difference between control and patient plasma u-PA-Ag was statistically significant, but too small to attach any relevance to the observation.Our data suggest that, in contrast to the classical concept of decreased fibrinolytic activity as a cause of adhesion formation, intraperitoneal fibrinolysis is enhanced in peritoneal inflammation through stimulation of the local production of t-PA and u-PA. Despite concomitant production of PAI, fibrinolysis occurs at a high rate, resulting in high levels of fibrin degradation products. Since this activated fibrinolysis does not meet the demand, therapeutic enhancement should be considered to prevent adhesions.
