About Peptostreptococcus pelvic inflammatory disease.

*Peptostreptococcus* pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection and inflammatory disorder of the upper female genital tract involving the anaerobic Gram-positive coccus *Peptostreptococcus*.

Typically affecting sexually active women of reproductive age, it develops when endogenous vaginal flora ascend past the cervical barrier into the endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic peritoneum, often as part of a polymicrobial process associated with dysbiosis or concurrent sexually transmitted pathogens.

Defining clinical and pathophysiologic features include lower abdominal and pelvic pain, cervical motion and adnexal tenderness, purulent vaginal discharge, and localized tissue inflammation that can progress to abscess formation, tubal scarring, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility.
