An infection of the genital tract which occurs as
a complication of delivery is termed puerperal
sepsis
Vaginal flora
• Doderlein’s bacillus

• Staphylococcus aureus
• E.coli
• Cl.welchi on occasion
Factors alter the vaginal flora
• Damage of the cervico vaginal mucus membrane
• Open wound of placental site
• Blood clots present at the placental site
Predisposing factors of puerperal sepsis
• Low host resistance
• Introduction of microorganisms from outside
• Increased prevalence of organisms resistant to
antibiotics
Antenatal factors
Malnutrition
& anemia
Pre term
labour
PROM
Chronic
debilitating
illness
Prolonged
rupture of
membranes
> 18 hrs
Intranatal
factors

Pathology
• Perineum
• Vagina
• Cervix
• Uterus - endometritis
Spread of infection

C/F
1) Local infection
• Slight rise of temperature

• Offensive and copious lochial discharge
• Subinvolution
Severe
• Rise of temperature with chills and rigor
• Rapid pulse rate
• Scanty and odourless lochia
• Subinvolution
• Associated wound infections
3)Spreading infection
Parametritis
• Constant pelvic pain
• Tenderness on either sides of hypogastrium
• If suppuration – rise of temperature with chills and rigor, intense
pain
• Gradual deterioration
• Leucocytosis

• Pyrexia with increased pulse rate
• Lower abdominal pain and tenderness
• Collection of pus in pouch of doughlas
General peritonitis
