Change to sepsis advice after mums’ herpes deathson November 23, 2021 at 6:04 am

Medical advice on how new mothers with sepsis should be treated is to change after two women died of a herpes infection.

Edward Morris, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, which set standards in maternity care, said routine investigation and management of maternal sepsis “should always consider viral sources of infection, and appropriate changes should be instituted to support earlier diagnosis and treatment”.
