What happens during the disease - puerperal sepsis
Puerperal sepsis is a systemic infection of the reproductive tract that is caused by ascending bacterial infection of the uterus and other pelvic organs. it is most commonly caused by the introduction of bacteria from the vagina or rectum into the uterus during childbirth, and can also be caused by contaminated medical instruments used during delivery. the bacteria then spread to the bloodstream, leading to sepsis, which can lead to organ failure, shock, and death.
