Abstract
To evaluate guidelines for outpatient treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease recommended by the Center for Disease Control we studied 197 afflicted women. The women were treated either with tetracycline or with procaine penicillin and ampicillin, and 92 per cent were subsequently seen at least once to assess efficacy of clinical and microbiologic treatment.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
