Metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap and euglycemic ketoacidosis in pregnant and postpartum women with severe Covid-19.

Background/objectives: Pregnant and postpartum women have a higher risk for developing severe Covid-19 and other clinical and obstetric complications. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap and describe a case series of euglycemic ketoacidosis (EKA) in pregnant and postpartum women with severe confirmed or suspected Covid-19.

Materials And Methods: Observational retrospective study carried in a reference intensive care unit from May 2020 to June 2022.

Severe Covid-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted to an intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study.

Intravenous Ceftriaxone on an Outpatient Basis in the Treatment of Ocular Syphilis.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to describe the clinical and laboratory outcomes of patients with syphilitic uveitis treated with 2 g intravenous Ceftriaxone daily on an outpatient treatment basis for 14 days, in the setting of the COVID pandemic and lack of hospitalization availability.

Methods: This study included a review of the clinical records from patients from January 2020 to December 2021 and who were then followed for 6 months at the Research Laboratory of Infectious Diseases in Ophthalmology of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Evandro Chagas (INI) FIOCRUZ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Conclusion: This study showed that almost all of the 15 patients were well treated for ocular syphilis with Ceftriaxone without any signs of therapeutic failure with documented clinical improvement and satisfactory decreasing VDRL titers.
