Abstract

Introduction: Chorioamnionitis is an unprecedented complication arising during labor and the intrapartum period which can lead to adverse outcomes in the mother such as sepsis and postpartum infections and the neonate such as stillbirth, neonatal sepsis, cerebral palsy, and delayed milestones with an increased NICU stay. Several studies have been done over the past years to study the pathophysiology and outcomes of chorioamnionitis. The current studies focus on the early recognition and management to prevent further complications.

Patient and methods: We want to discuss the case of a 23-year-old full-term antenatal mother who received successful multi-disciplinary treatment at a tertiary care hospital and also discuss the literature available on basic pathophysiology, diagnosis, complications, and management of chorioamnionitis.

Results: The patient had a follow-up on an OPD basis with her baby 1 month post-operatively, both stable and healthy with no complaints.

Conclusion: An early clinical diagnosis with prompt initiation of antibiotics can lead to good outcomes for the mother and the baby.

Novel Treatments Targeting the Dysregulated Cell Signaling Pathway during Sepsis

Previously characterized as a purely immune mediated disease, sepsis is now recognized as a dysregulated multisystem response against a pathogen. Recognition of the infectious agent by pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) can initiate activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and promote the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. During sepsis, the activation of NF-κB is dysregulated and results in cytokine storm, or the pathologic release of cytokines.

Ethanol Consumption and Sepsis: Mechanisms of Organ Damage

Sepsis is highly prevalent, and is one of the main causes of mortality among hospitalized patients. Ethanol consumption in large quantities compromises the normal functioning of the body, leading to dysfunction of multiple different organ systems. The association between sepsis and ethanol is not fully understood, but it is well accepted that ethanol

Efferocytosis and Anthrax: Implications for Bacterial Sepsis?

Bacillus anthracis (Ba) is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore- and toxin-forming bacterium. While mainly an herbivore pathogen, human infection with Ba spores can occur through a number of routes including cutaneous, gastrointestinal, injectional, or inhalational.

The Impact of Fluid Resuscitation Timeliness in Geriatric Patients with Sepsis: A Single Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Sepsis is a key driver of worldwide mortality, representing close to 20% of global deaths in 2017 [1]. Approximately half of patients hospitalized with sepsis are 65 years and older [2]. Delivery of 30ml/kg of crystalloid fluid bolus within three hours of diagnosing sepsis remains a cornerstone of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC)

Molecular Pathways in Sepsis Pathogenesis: Recent Advances and Therapeutic Avenues

Background: Sepsis remains a critical global health challenge with high mortality. This review summarizes current understanding of the intricate molecular mechanisms governing sepsis pathogenesis and highlights emerging therapeutic approaches.
