Preterm premature rupture of the membranes ; Sepsis ; Wound infection
Abstract
Intrauterine infection is a common complication of preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM), as the membranes
usually form a barrier to ascending infection. This condition is a well-known risk factor for significant maternal adverse outcomes including postpartum hemorrhage, unplanned hysterectomy, blood transfusion, surgical site infection, sepsis, and intensive care unit admission. We report the treatment experience of sepsis and surgical site infection after emergency cesarean
delivery in patient with PPROM along with a brief review of the literatures.
