Abstrait

Les infections pelviennes graves de la femme constituent la forme la plus sévère d’une maladie appelée « maladie inflammatoire du pelvis » ou encore « pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) » par les Anglo-Saxons (1). Cette affection, que nous connaissons plus généralement sous le terme générique d’infection génitale haute, fait référence à toute infection de l’utérus, des trompes ou des structures pelviennes adjacentes en dehors d’un contexte chirurgical ou de la grossesse. Elle regroupe l’endocervicite, l’endométrite et la salpingite. L’endocervicite correspond à l’infection du canal cervical au-delà de l’orifice externe, l’endométrite à l’infection localisée de l’utérus, et la salpingite à l’atteinte utéro-annexielle. Malgré ces distinctions nosologiques, l’ensemble de ces pathologies représente une seule entité, avec une prise en charge très similaire dans le cadre des maladies sexuellement transmissibles (MST). Il s’agit d’une affection fréquente (1 million de cas par an aux États-Unis) qui génère des complications (douleurs chroniques, grossesse extra-utérine [GEU], infertilité) et des coûts très importants (1 milliard $ par an aux mêmes États-Unis) (2).
