Letter to the Editor Regarding ‘A neonatal case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with intrauterine onset after COVID19 infection during pregnancy: cause or coincidence?’
We read with interest the article by Ozdil et al. about a three day-old female neonate who was diagnosed with venous sinus thrombosis (VST) which was complicated by a subacute, partial ischemic stroke in the territory of the right middle cerebral artery.1 The age of the stroke was estimated at 14-28 days before birth.1 Because the mother suffered a mild coronvirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection during the initial weeks of the third trimester (gestational weeks 27-30), VST in the fetus was causally related to the severe, acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus type-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection of the mother.

Coronavirus disease 2019 in pregnancy: consider thromboembolic disorders and thromboprophylaxis
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2. This syndrome generally begins with respiratory symptoms that may progress to single-organ dysfunction (ie, respiratory failure) and then to multiorgan failure and death. In nonpregnant patients admitted to the intensive care unit with COVID-19 pneumonia, the frequency of venous thromboembolic disorders is 25% (20 of 81) detected by ultrasound examination of the lower extremities.1 In another series of 184 patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia, 31% of patients had venous or arterial thromboembolism (defined as ac...

CDC Head Estimates U.S. Coronavirus Cases Might be 10 Times Higher Than Data Show
In a press briefing on June 25, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said that the current official count of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. may actually be a drastic underestimate. Redfield said the new, much-higher estimate, is based on growing data from antibody testing, which picks up the presence of immune cells that react to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. People will test positive for antibodies to the virus if they have been infected—whether or not they ever got sick or even developed symptoms. Previously, testing was focused only on those with sym...

For HIV/AIDS Survivors, COVID-19 Reawakened Old Trauma —And Renewed Calls for Change
Forty years ago this month, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report noted a rare lung infection among five otherwise healthy gay men in Los Angeles, Calif. Though they didn’t know it at the time, the scientists had written about what would turn out to be one of the historical moments that launched the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. Since then, HIV/AIDS has killed an estimated 35 million people, including 534,000 people in the U.S. from 1990 to 2018 alone, according to UNAIDS, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in modern history. Over...

Ischaemic stroke due to basilar artery occlusion in a puerperal patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection
CONCLUSION: Severe SARS-CoV-2 disease results in a prothrombotic state that correlates with the prognosis of the disease. The last trimester of pregnancy and the puerperium are known prothrombotic risk factors. Recommendations for anticoagulation management in pregnant patients with COVID-19 are based on limited evidence. This is the first case to be published in Spain involving cerebral arterial thrombosis in a pregnant patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection.PMID:35866535 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7504.2021373

A neonatal case of cerebral venous thrombosis with intrauterine onset after COVID19 infection during pregnancy: cause or coincidence?
Coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) is known to predispose patients to increased thrombotic events and the risk is higher in pregnancy which is already a hypercoagulable state. Vertical transmission of the disease during pregnancy was neglected according to data early in the pandemic, however, despite conflicting results from different studies, there is an increasing suspicion of vertical transmission with the rise of new fetal and neonatal cases and perinatal transmission can be higher than expected.

Medically Attended Acute Adverse Events in Pregnant People After Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Booster Vaccination
Obstet Gynecol. 2023 May 11. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005241. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this multisite, observational, matched cohort study of more than 80,000 pregnant people, receipt of an mRNA monovalent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccination in pregnancy was not associated with increased risk for thrombocytopenia, myocarditis, venous thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, or other serious adverse events within 21 or 42 days after booster vaccination. The mRNA monovalent COVID-19 booster in pregnancy was associated with an increased risk for medically attended malaise or fatigue within 7 days of vac...
