Abstract

Obstetric sepsis is still a signifi cant cause of maternal mortality in developing world, and in the last decade, an increasing number of cases have also been recorded in developed countries. Its onset can be insidious and patients can deteriorate from well-being to development of septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death in a few hours. Unfortunately, some deaths are unavoidable, but early diagnosis and prompt therapy can improve outcome and survivability.
