To identify the relationship between the fever complicating pregnancy beyond 32 weeks of gestation and its maternal and
fetal outcomes. A semi structured proforma entailing a detailed history and examination were done among 100 antepartum
mothers with fever for ≥2 days, beyond 32 weeks of gestation. Pneumonia was the major causation of fever (21%). The majority of the participants
(72%) had a fever duration of less than 5 days and experienced high grade fever(82%). High grade fever was associated with urinary tract infection
and pneumonia was associated with premature rupture of membranes. Fever of less than 5 days was associated with premature rupture of
membranes and NICU admissions.
