Abstract
Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the breast which may be infective or non-infective. The incidence of lactational mastitis may reach 33% but is usually less than 10% (World Health Organization, 2000). A number of predisposing causes have been identified. A case study has been included and the discussion may assist the midwife in recognizing and supporting the woman with lactational mastitis.
