description BACKGROUND: Misoprostol has a wide range of applications in obstetrics and gynaecology. It is widely recommended by WHO, FIGO and ACOG for the treatment of postpartum haemorrhage due to it safety and cost-effectiveness. However, usage might be associated to hyperpyrexia and shivering. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 30 year old Cameroonian female gravida 1 para 1 who had a vaginal delivery at 40 weeks of gestation complicated by primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). PPH was managed by sublingual misoprostol that induced shivering and hyperpyrexia managed successfully with paracetamol and cooling. CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of fever and shivering should be kept in mind when administering misoprostol for PPH.
