ABSTRACT
Ninety-two patients with puerperal infection admitted to Siriraj Hospital from April 1, 1980 to March 1, 1983 were studied. The treatment in this study was both medical and surgical, blood transfusion was given in some cases with low hematocrit level. The medical treatment alone was based on the causative organisms which were detected by cervical & intrauterine swab, smear & gram stain and cultures. PGS & Kanamycin were the most frequently used antibiotics which were intended to treat both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and adjunctive chloramphenicol for anaerobes. The surgical procedures which were performed in combination with medical treatment included total abdominal hysterectomy, uterine curettage, appendectomy and drainage of subdiaphragmatic abscess. The result of the treatment was satisfactory, 96.7 per cent improved after therapy with slight morbidity in some patients.
