What is Puerperal Pyrexia about?

Puerperal pyrexia is defined as a temperature of 38°C or higher occurring on any two days during the first 14 days post-delivery, often resulting from infections in the genital and non-genital regions. Risk factors include anaemia, poor nutrition, prolonged labor, and surgical interventions, with common causes being endometritis, urinary tract infections, and mastitis. Management typically involves antibiotics, and complications can arise if infections spread to other pelvic structures.
