[Pelvic inflammatory disease associated with Neisseria meningitis bacteremia]

Abstract

The Pelvic Inflammatory disease (PID) caused by Neisseria meningitidis (Nm), as an extraneurological manifestation considered as a case study with few precedents. It is so far known that the occasional transposition of ecological niches occurs. There are several bibliographical reports that show an increase in the colonization of the genitourinary tract due to Nm. These may or may not cause disease in individuals during colonization. In adults, the symptoms and any complications which may arise are similar to those caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng). It is highly necessary to correctly identify the agents of Neisseria gender which are obtained from the genital tract. This permits an accurate diagnosis to be made and results in a better understanding of the epidemiology. Morbimortality arising from Nm infection is worth studying to produce a better knowledge of the pathogenia of the infection caused by this microorganism.
