摘要

We present a case of pyogenic pubic symphysitis presenting in the third trimester with progressive suprapubic pain, fever and massive vulvar oedema. This case demonstrates a rare, but important cause of sepsis in pregnancy, which, if not recognised and treated promptly, may result in significant morbidity.
