Abstract :

Puerperal fever is due to infection most often of the placental site within the uterus, infection of episiotomy wound, cesarean section incision. But here we report a case of tuberculosis of peritoneum as a cause of puerperal fever, which is a rare cause. TB abdomen may present without typical pulmonary symptoms and signs, making the diagnosis difficult for a physician. Ascitic fluid analysis, CBNAAT, ascitic fluid ADA levels will help the physicians to arrive at a diagnosis.
