Causes of septic complications of childbirth

The problem of postpartum infection remains one of the most important problems in obstetrics. The occurrence of postpartum purulent-septic complications is a consequence of the manifestation of an infectious factor in labor. In analyzing the individual charts of 60 pregnant women and labor histories, we identified factors that contributed to the development of infectious complications. The examined women were aged 18-38 years. Chronic foci of infection were detected in 54% of the pregnant women (31% had chronic pyelonephritis, 23% had chronic tonsillitis).
