In this study of 906 women who underwent Cesarean Section without the use of an antibiotic prophylactic it has been confirmed that age, labour in course and the premature rupture of the membrane are clinical parameters that are statistically significant for unspecified fever/endometritis or for infections of the wound and that hemoglobin and hematocrit values below 9 gr/dl and at 35% post-operation are significant for infections of the wound. 13.2% women had complicating infections of which 1.3% were infections of the wound, 0.6% were endometritis, 7.2% were unspecified fever and 4.1% were urinary infections. The Authors show that preventive measures in some areas could be as effective as chemoprophylaxis.
