  • After the transplant, the patient faced complications like pneumonia, leading to reduced immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Tragically, the patient suffered a fatal hemodynamic collapse linked to autopsy findings of AMR with significant presence of CD16+ cells and SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, highlighting the need for further research on the virus's impact on AMR.

Article Synopsis
  • An opportunistic pathogen caused an 18-month outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Antwerp, Belgium, affecting 61 neonates, with ten confirmed infections resulting in serious conditions, including one fatal case.
  • The risk of acquiring the infection was significantly higher in neonates nursing in incubators, highlighted by statistical analysis (OR: 2.99; p < 0.05).
