Pelvic cellulitis caused by *Neisseria gonorrhoeae* is a serious bacterial infection characterized by acute inflammation and diffuse infection of the pelvic soft tissues, parametrium, and retroperitoneal connective spaces

Primarily affecting women, it arises within the broader spectrum of upper genital tract infections or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), commonly through the ascending spread of the sexually transmitted diplococcus from an initial cervical or urethral site into contiguous pelvic structures Pathophysiologically, the gonococcal organisms induce local tissue invasion, intense neutrophil recruitment, and purulent infiltration of pelvic connective tissues This process typically manifests clinically w...

This process typically manifests clinically with lower abdominal and pelvic pain, exquisite adnexal and uterine cervical motion tenderness, fever, and leukocytosis
