Puerperal sepsis is highly contagious by touch. But in the 19th century, scientist Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that the disease wasn't a threat so long as people thoroughly washed their hands.
Many plant diseases are caused by fungi through their spores. For example white rust of crucifers is caused by Albugo candida. Its mode of transmission is by wind born conidiospores.Many plant diseases are caused by fungi though their spores.

Yes, it is since the infection is in the entire body and it is called sepsis. It does depend on the bacteria or virus that is involved but still can be deadly. There are a lot of different microbes which can cause sepsis. Bacteria is the leading cause of sepsis but fungi and virus can also cause it. Infections in the kidneys and bladder (UTI), lungs (pneumonia), skin (cellulitis), appendicitis, meningitis and others can lead to sepsis. Infections developed after surgery may also cause sepsis. Bacterial infection is a medical emergency. A person having sepsis should be treated in the hospital specifically in the intensive care unit.

Puerperal fever (from the Latin puer, child), also called childbed fever, can develop into puerperal sepsis, which is a serious form of septicaemia contracted by a woman during or shortly after childbirth, miscarriage or abortion. If untreated, it is life-threatening. The most common infection causing puerperal fever is genital tract sepsis. Other types of infection that can lead to sepsis after childbirth include urinary tract infection, breast infection (mastitis) and respiratory tract infection (more common after anaesthesia due to lesions in the windpipe). Puerperal fever is now rare in the West due to improved hygiene during delivery, and deaths have been reduced by antibiotics.
