What is the treatment of CDI in post-partum women?
The treatment of CDI in the post-partum state is essentially the same as in other conditions provided the patient is conscious and able to take fluids by mouth. DDAVP may be given by nasal spray, tablets, or injection. If CDI is due to Sheehans syndrome (pituitary necrosis), it may also be necessary to treat anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies. In any case, water balance should be monitored closely until it is clear that the patients thirst and fluid intake are regulated appropriately.
