Abstract :

Septic shock in obstetric patients is a rare clinical event. The estimated incidence is one in 8,338 deliveries. Two thirds of cases occur in the ante partum period and one third in postpartum. 22 year unmarried female with no previous co morbidities was admitted with complaints of Breathlessness, Bilateral pedal edema, Abdominal distension and fever for 1 week duration. Repeat echo done on day – 10 of admission showed improved LV function, Adequate LV systolic function. Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a reversible myocardial dysfunction that typically resolves in 7–10 days. Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy has three characteristics: left ventricular dilatation, depressed ejection fraction, and recovery in 7–10 days.
