Diagnostic Criteria

The CDC has developed a set of diagnostic criteria for prompt treatment of PID based on clinical manifestations to minimize its sequelae.[1]

Minimum diagnostic criteria

(at least 1 must be present)

Additional diagnostic criteria

(at least 1 must be present), increases specificity

Definitive diagnostic criteria
  • The minimum diagnostic criteria are intended to have a high sensitivity with the goal of detecting as many cases of PID as possible.
  • Additional criteria support the diagnosis of PID with greater specificity, while definitive criteria confirm the diagnosis.[1]
