2 case reports involving the use of steroid hormones in the treatment of pelvic infections are presented. The first was a young woman with bilateral salpingo-oophoritis. The patient continued to have low abdominal and pelvic pain and to remain febrile following closure of the posterior cul-de-sac and antibiotic therapy. 2 days after cortisone was added to the treatment the patient was afebrile and after 5 days she was discharged and received diminishing doses of corticosteroid. The second case involved a young married woman with acute salpingo-oophoritis who suffered recurring episodes of salpingitis and urinary tract infection and continued to have disabling abdominal pain, especially with her menses. The infection was treated with sulfasoxisole, and menstruation was suppressed with medroxyprogesterone for 1 year. At the time of writing she had been menstruating regularly for 8 months and was free of abdominopelvic pain.
