Post-partum Anaphylaxis in mothers is extremely rare and has been reported secondary to initiation of the breast-feeding. However, we hereby report the occurrence of post-partum anaphylaxis in a post-partum patient in the absence of the initiated breast-feeding.

BACKGROUND In many low-income countries, formal post-partum care utilization is much lower than that of skilled delivery and antenatal care. While Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) might play a role in post-partum care, research exploring their attitudes and practices during this period is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore TBAs' practices and perceptions in post-partum c...

Into the general question of the nature and management of these haemorrhages in general it is no part of my present pa...

Post-partum heart disease has been described by several authors (Gouley et al. as a well-defined condition, exhibiting a uniform clinical picture, due to several possible etiological factors, many of which are often difficult to recognize. Notwithstanding these studies, the problem of heart failure occurring in the puerperal period in the absence of pre-existent cardiac disease is still far fro...

Our objective was to investigate IgG glycosylation and disease activity post partum in the MRL-lpr/lpr mouse. Disease activity was monitored using bimalleolar ankle swelling. Levels of galactose and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) on IgG isolated from serum were measured using biotinylated lectins. Our results show that disease severity increased post partum. This post-partum flare correlated sign...
