title: [Pelvic inflammatory disease and intrauterine contraceptive device. Monocentric continuous study of 70 cases over 5 years].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Evaluation of relation between uterine devices and severe pelvic inflammatory disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Medical and surgical data for 5 years were collected in an universitary center.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seventy patients were found whose seven needed reanimation and ten, two or more surgical procedures. Risks factors were old age (>45 years) and time exposure (>5 years).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Severe pelvic inflammatory disease and uterine devices in not uncommon association. Prolonged use seems to be a risk factor.
