Puerperal fever, also known as postpartum infection or childbed fever, is a bacterial infection that occurs following childbirth or miscarriage. It typically originates in the birth canal and affects the mother's endometrium, leading to symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, and uterine tenderness. Emesis gravidarum and hyperemesis gravidarum are both conditions related to excessive vomiting during pregnancy, Turner's syndrome and Klinefelter's syndrome are genetic conditions that affect sex chromosomes and are not related to postpartum infections.
