Article Synopsis
- A study presented five cases of fetal death (≥12 weeks) in women with confirmed COVID-19, highlighting a potential link between the virus and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
- All affected women had mild to moderate COVID-19, were mostly overweight or obese, and showed no significant pre-existing health issues that could contribute to fetal death, with cases occurring between 21-38 weeks of gestation.
- Histological examination revealed severe placental inflammation in all cases, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may directly impact the placenta, leading to fetal demise.
Background: Limited data are available on the management of pregnant women with severe or critical forms of COVID-19, such as the optimal timing of provider-initiated delivery, and post-partum care, including antithrombotic prophylaxis. We present the clinical course, pre- and post-partum management, and outcomes of two pregnant women critically ill with COVID-19.
Cases: Both women had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia with rapid clinical decompensation that required admission to the intensive care unit, intubation, and delivery by emergency cesarean section at 32 and 29 weeks.
Background: Severe Strongyloides stercoralis infection in kidney transplant recipients is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, although little is known about the risk factors for such infection.
Methodology/principal Findings: This was a retrospective, multicenter, case-control study in which we assessed the risk factors for and clinical outcomes of severe S. stercoralis infections in kidney transplant recipients in Brazil.
Herein we report a fatal case of donor-derived transmission of XDR-resistant carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) in cardiac transplantation. A 59-year-old male patient with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy underwent heart transplantation. On day 5 post-operation, blood cultures from the donor were positive for colistin-resistant carbapenemase-producing K.
