Article Synopsis
- Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare but serious condition in pregnant women that can negatively impact the fetus, especially under stress like infections.
- A case is discussed where a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes and COVID-19 developed euglycemic DKA while on mechanical ventilation, leading to a cesarean section despite initial treatment.
- After the surgery, her DKA resolved, but she required ongoing ventilation for severe COVID-19, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of pregnant women with COVID-19 to prevent complications like euglycemic DKA.
