Abstract
The development of fever during the puerperium is a relatively common complication. Although the primary source of these fever usually stems from the genital tract, a thorough evaluation of the febrile puerperal patient for other sites of infection is necessary before initiating antibiotic therapy. Increased awareness of factors that predispose a patient to postpartum infection has significantly reduced maternal morbidity and mortality.
