Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a serious and uncommon complication that can happen during labor or shortly after delivery, with a high risk of maternal death.
- Diagnosing AFE is tough because its symptoms overlap with other pregnancy issues, making early identification crucial for effective treatment and improving survival rates.
- This case study highlights a 31-year-old woman with placenta previa who showed AFE symptoms post-Cesarean section and emphasizes the use of the Quantra QStat system for quick assessment of bleeding disorders to guide treatment.
Background: Women with hereditary fibrinogen disorders (HFDs) seem to be at an increased risk of adverse obstetrical outcomes, but epidemiologic data are limited.
Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of pregnancy complications; the modalities and management of delivery; and the postpartum events in women with hypofibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia, and hypodysfibrinogenemia.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective and prospective multicentric international study.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and has been a global public health concern. We report coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and 2009 H1N1 Influenza strain in a French patient with pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome. The patient also had a medical history of pulmonary sarcoidosis with a restrictive ventilatory syndrome and obesity, which would be a supplementary risk to develop a poor outcomes.

This first systematic literature review led to identification of 51 hypodysfibrinogenemic cases. Diagnosis based only on functional/antigenic fibrinogen ratio may be insufficient.
