Bacteremia in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Departments of the Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of South Carolina School of Medicine and Richland Memorial Hospital, Columbia, South Carolina.

Surveillance of all episodes of bacteremia in the four major hospitals of a metropolitan area of 400,000 population between 1977 and 1981 revealed that bacteremia was documented in only 92 patients on obstetrics and Gynecology services. Death was attributed to bacteremia in only four of these patients, three of whom had severe underlying diseases. These data confirm that death due to bacteremia in present-day obstetric and Gynecology practice is extremely uncommon.
