Amsel Criteria
3/4
A thin, white homogenous discharge
> 20% Presence of clue cells in microscopic exam

Ascending infection that begins in the vulva or vagina spreads upward to involve most of the structures in the female genital system
Pelvic pain, adnexal tenderness, fever, and vaginal discharge
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Two most common causes of PID
Gonococcus
Chlamydia
May be polymicrobial
Endocervical mucosa
Vestibular glands initially involved
Spread up to FT, tuboovarian regions
Marked acute inflammation largely confined to the superficial mucosa
Acute suppurative salpingitis, salpingoophoritis
Tubo-ovarian abscess or pyosalpinx
PID
PID Sequelae
Chronic follicular salpingitis
Hydrosalpinx (dilated, fluid filled)
Scarring tube (impenetrable to oocyte leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy)
Hydrosalpinx -> infertility due to lack of flexible finbriae
Spreads to abdomen and lead to bacteremia
PID Gold standard for diagnosis
Laparoscopy
Violin string adhesions on Laparoscopy
Intraabdominal dissemination of PID

Pathogenesis: Activated T cells
Not premalignant but high chance of SCCA
Leukoplakia
Hairly leukoplakia is associated in
caused by
Side of tongue of AIDS

Results from rubbing/scratching
Thickening of epidermis (acanthosis) and hyperkeratosis
No increase risk of SCCA
