The frequency of puerperal infections represented 1% of deliveries, the average age of patients was 27 ± 7.26 years. Housewives represented 64.4% of the patients. Hyperthermia and abdominal-pelvic pain respectively occurred in 63.8% and 21.3% of patients. The patients had given birth by caesarean section in 83.1% of cases. Endometritis represented 76.9% of cases of puerperal infections. The patients were treated with antibiotics, uterotonics and symptomatic therapy. Maternal death occurred in 13.9% of cases.
