Abstract
A case of postpartum sepsis with a fatal outcome was observed in one of the Moscow maternity hospitals. The patient with labor bacterial vaginosis had ascending endogenous infection that gave rise to a primary endometrial focus with further generalization of the infectious process and with evolving sepsis. Since the infectious process developed with the reduction and depletion of the body’s defensive forces (immunodeficiency), this led to the extremely malignant clinical course with the occurrence of sepsis and infection-toxic shock. Clinical presentation was subtle; typical symptoms were absent. Despite intensive care and surgical and resuscitative measures, death occurred in the patient 70 hours after labor.
