Postpartum endometritis remains a major cause of morbidity in the puerperium with a fatal outcome on occasion. We present two cases of fatal, post-cesarean endometritis which occurred within a fifteen month period in Alabama. We discuss the features of endometritis including pathophysiology, causative organisms, risk factors and complications.
