ABSTRACT
CASE 6.2 – I had a baby 3 days ago and feel shivery. A 34-year-old primiparous woman had a traumatic vaginal delivery after an 18-h labour. Labour was induced after pre-labour rupture of the membranes for over 48 h. Three days post-delivery, the woman feels shivery and has had a temperature of 38.4 ºC and 38.5 ºC measured 4 h apart. She is a smoker, but had stopped smoking during pregnancy.
