High Rates of Repeated Caesarean Section Deliveries and its Associated Maternal and Foetal Complications at A Tertiary Hospital in Northern Tanzania

Abstract

Women attending Mwingi Hospital are commonly affected by various urogenital infections. Antibiotic use without microbiological diagnosis was observed. Among the antibiotics tested, 3^rd generation cephalosporins and penicillin combination agents were noted as the most effective in treating bacterial urogenital infections, while nalidixic acid and cotrimoxazole were ineffective. Improved diagnosis and targeted treatments are necessary to prevent further development of antibiotic resistance.
