Article Synopsis
- Puerperal sepsis is a serious bacterial infection affecting women after childbirth, significantly contributing to maternal health issues in low-income countries like Ethiopia. A study aimed to analyze the types of bacteria involved, their drug resistance patterns, and associated risk factors among postpartum and aborted women at a referral hospital in Bahir Dar.
