Abstract:

We describe a case of a 38-year-old patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid syndrome who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and then developed a vaginal vault abscess which lead to sepsis. She was treated as possible sepsis with disseminated intravascular coagulation and there was also a possibility of her suffering from catastrophic anti-phospholipid syndrome which was the line of management in this case.
