The number of cases showing puerperal pyrexia (i.e. temperature of 100.4 or over on more than one occasion while the patient is under observation, not including the first 24 hours), was 122; of these none died.
Sulphonamide compounds have been used as a routine for these cases. There is a high incidence of malnutrition among the cases of pregnancy. This is evinced by oedema and peripheral neuritis and cardiac insufficiency.
