title: [Infection following cesarean section].
abstract: Analysing 540 cases of caesarean sections and comparing them with the equal number of vaginal delivery, the author concludes that operative trauma is the main reason of infection. Other reasons are prolonged delivery and the prolonged time between the rupture of the membrane and delivery. Other factors (number of vaginal examinations, amnioscopy, internal CTG) in the author's material did not significantly influence the incidence of infection. Antibiotic prophylaxis, general by speaking, significantly influenced the diminishing of the frequency of puerperal infection.
