    Author: Lawford AM, Scott K, Lust K.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol; 2010 Dec; 50(6):576-7. PubMed ID: 21133872.
    Abstract:
    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.
