Introduction: Since its introduction in clinical practice in 1981, pregnancies conceived by assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are an increasing proportion of all pregnancies, presenting particular challenges.
Objective: To analyze the maternal-fetal outcomes of pregnancies conceived by ART in a single center in Argentina. Material and methods: Retrospective cohort of pregnancies conceived by ART who attended their delivery in a private university hospital through a review of records.
Objective: In Ecuador, data on molecular epidemiology, as well as circulating clones, are limited. Therefore, this study aims to know the population structure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by identifying clones in clinical samples in Quito-Ecuador.
Methods: A significant set (45) clinical P.
Filamentous fungal infections are an important cause of systemic infections in immunocompromised patients. genus members potentially cause disseminated infections, especially in patients with catheters, due to the ability to adhere to these devices. We describe a case of fatal fungemia due to in a patient with COVID-19 in Ecuador.
