General Anesthesia For A Patient With An Extreme Case Of Fitz Curtis Hugh Syndrome

摘要

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most common infectious disease in young women, and if left untreated, serious complications may result. We report a young, previously healthy patient with an extreme case of Fitz Curtis Hugh syndrome, who was in acute respiratory distress and hypoxemic. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been previously reported. The pathology of FCH is discussed.Amongst young women 15 to 25 years of age, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most common infectious disease, and in developed nations accounts for 94% of morbidity associated with sexually transmitted diseases. If PID is left untreated, serious complications may result. (1) We report a patient who presented for abdominal surgery, who was in respiratory distress and hypoxemic, which was apparently due to Fitz Curtis Hugh syndrome.
