Introduction: Sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) are significant concerns in intensive care units and contribute significantly to patient mortality. Traditional diagnostic markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) often lack the sensitivity and specificity needed for early diagnosis and prognosis. Consequently, more reliable biomarkers are needed.

Obstetric patients have been a subject of considerable interest due to their potential vulnerability to more severe infection and adverse pregnancy outcomes, exemplified by this report of a 43-year-old pregnant female with severe COVID-19 infection and respiratory complications. This case report aims to contribute to the existing scientific knowledge by presenting a detailed clinical profile of a patient with COVID-19 who achieved pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and discussing the management and outcomes of the infection.

This progression to severe multiorgan failure, also known as multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), is a life-threatening condition characterized by the dysfunction of two or more organ systems. Often, MODS is a consequence of events triggered by underlying pathologies, such as severe infections, including those caused by .

The prevalence of Lactic acidosis is estimated to be approximately 1% of all hospitalized nonsurgical patients. The purpose of our study was to reveal possible associations between the level of Lactate with sepsis biomarkers: PCT, IL 6, and PO2 in the presence of ACE 2 inhibitors in Covid-19 infected and non-infected patients with Septic Shock.
