Acute management of massive pulmonary embolism in pregnancy.

Key Content: •Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) during pregnancy or the postpartum period is a rare but potentially lethal event.•Physiological changes in the coagulation system during pregnancy and puerperium would lead to a hypercoagulable state.•Diagnosis of PE in pregnancy remains a challenge due to physiological changes in pregnancy.

First Clinical Cases of KPC-2-Producing ST258 in Algeria and Outbreak of ST101 Harboring Gene in the Urology Department of Annaba Hospital.

The aim of this study was to characterize the molecular mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in isolated from the urology department of Annaba hospital, Algeria. Between January 2015 and September 2017, 14 carbapenem-resistant strains were isolated during routine surveillance work at Ibn Roched hospital of Annaba, Algeria, from the urology department. Theses strains were recovered, and carbapenem resistance mechanisms were investigated.

What could explain the late emergence of COVID-19 in Africa?

At the end of November 2019, a novel coronavirus responsible for respiratory tract infections emerged in China. Despite drastic containment measures, this virus, known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), spread in Asia and Europe. The pandemic is ongoing with a particular hotspot in southern Europe and America in spring 2020.

Infections Due to Carbapenem-Resistant Bacteria in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies.

In developed countries, hematological malignancies (HM) account for 8 to 10% of cancers diagnosed annually and one-third of patients with HM (HMP) are expected to die from their disease. The former wide spectrum "magic bullet," imipenem, has been ousted by the emergence of carbapenem resistant (CR) pathogens. In endemic areas, infections with CR-bacteria occur in vulnerable patients, notably in HMP, who suffer from high mortality related to infectious complications.
