title: [Pathogens of transmitted disease in the pathogenesis of acute pelvic inflammatory disease].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the pathogenesis of pathogens of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
  
  
  METHODS
  Neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trchomatis, ureaplasma urealyticum were cutured respectively in 130 patients with acute PID.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The pathogens of STD had been found in 55 patients. The detective rate of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 6.9% (9/130), about half of them were mixed infection; the detective rate of chlamydia trachomatis was 4.6% (6/130), all of them were mixed infection; the positive percentage of ureaplasma urealyticum was 37.7% (49/130), one third of them were mixed infection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The pathogens of STD might cause acute PID or only play a synergetic role in it.
