Abstract
Surveillance of all episodes of bacteremia in the 4 major hospitals of a metropolitan area of 400,000 population between 1977 and 1981 revealed that bacteremia was documented in only 92 patients on obstetrics and gynecology services. Death was attributed to bacteremia in only 4 of these patients, 3 of whom had severe underlying diseases. These data confirm that death due to bacteremia in present-day obstetric and gynecology practice is extremely uncommon.
