Study of cases of puerperal sepsis, its socio-demographic factors, bacterial isolates, and antibiotic sensitivity pattern.

Objective: Due to the lack of resources for culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing in most underdeveloped countries, puerperal sepsis is treated empirically with a wide range of antibiotics. Empirical treatment, on the other hand, does not ensure treatment effectiveness and may even contribute to antibiotic resistance. So, we studied cases of puerperal sepsis, its socio-demographic factors, bacterial isolates, and antibiotic sensitivity in a tertiary health center.

Acceptance Rate of COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Determinants Among Indian Pregnant Women: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Background Vaccination is more widespread when the determinants and hesitancy of vaccination are identified, especially in vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women. Pregnant women if infected with COVID-19 are more likely to get severe COVID-19 illness and adverse neonatal outcomes as compared to non-pregnant women. The present study was designed with the aim to estimate the rate of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and to identify the associated factors which influence the vaccine acceptance.
