Gynecol Oncol Rep
February 2025
Introduction: Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is a rare condition described as the presentation of a pleural effusion and ascites in the setting of a malignant pelvic mass that is not included in the definition of Meigs' syndrome, and which resolves with resection of the mass.
Case Presentation: We report a 37-year-old patient with a twenty-centimeter pelvic mass assumed to be at least a stage IVA ovarian carcinoma due to the presence of a pleural effusion and ascites. She underwent exploratory laparotomy with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with a final pathology of a stage IA mucinous cancer of the ovary.
Article Synopsis
- Individuals with post-acute sequelae of COVID (PASC) show greater immune activation compared to those who have recovered from COVID without lasting effects, particularly in their antibody responses after vaccination.
- 245 individuals with PASC were compared to 86 recovered individuals, and results indicated higher levels of IgG-S antibodies and ACE2 binding in the PASC group after vaccination.
- The study highlights a distinct and abnormal immune response in PASC, characterized by prolonged elevations in certain antibodies, suggesting ongoing immune system activity even after recovery from the initial infection.
