Proteus pelvic inflammatory disease refers to an upper female genital tract infection involving structures such as the endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic peritoneum, caused or co-infected by enteric Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Proteus* (most commonly *Proteus mirabilis*) Pathophysiologically, *Proteus* species utilize virulent swarming motility, adhesins, endotoxins, and urease activity to breach mucosal defenses, incite intense tissue inflammation, and contribute to mucosa...

Arising primarily in biologically female individuals of reproductive age, this clinical presentation occurs when bacteria ascend from the vagina or cervix, or occasionally spread contiguously from an adjacent gastrointestinal or complicated urinary tract infection

Defining clinical manifestations include lower abdominal or pelvic pain, uterine or cervical motion tenderness, purulent cervical discharge, fever, and leukocytosis, carrying risks of tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic scarring, and tubal infertility if inadequately managed
