A prospective randomised placebo-controlled clinical study showed that it was not possible to reduce the infectious morbidity following Caesarean section by one perioperative intravenous infusion of 500 mg metronidazole. Of all the 219 patients the endometritis rate was 6%, the wound infection rate 6% and the puerperal sepsis rate 2%.
