In response to recent reviews of practice of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) management, a multidistrict audit involving eight genitourinary clinics within the Yorkshire region was carried out. This audit reports the referral patterns of patients, physical signs and microscopy findings at the first genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic attendance, antibiotic treatment and follow-up data as well as health adviser involvement and partner participation for 68 patients diagnosed with chlamydial PID. Twenty-eight (41.2%) patients presented with symptoms of less than or equal to four weeks duration, partner notification was recorded as being carried out for all patients and at least one partner was documented as having been treated in 57 (83.8%) patients. There is, however, a wide variation in the antibiotic regimens used for treatment and their duration.
