Fatal Influenza a Pneumonia in Pregnancy

Abstract: Today, influenza A infections are an uncommon cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This is a report of a 20-year-old pregnant woman who died from pneumonia caused by influenza A/Philippines/1982. The decreased immune system and respiratory functions of pregnancy make pregnant women especially susceptible to having a complicated influenza infection, though such infections probably do not directly threaten the fetus. The use of influenza immunizations and antiviral medication during pregnancy is discussed.

“…In a case-cohort study of 1,873 pregnant women conducted over the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, among 292 women with acute respiratory illnesses, those with influenza reported greater symptom severity than those with noninfluenza acute respiratory illness (56). Case reports and some observational studies suggest that pregnancy increases the risk for hospitalization and serious maternal medical complications (57)(58)(59). Most of these studies have measured changes in excess hospitalizations or outpatient visits for respiratory illness during influenza season rather than LCI.…”

“…En humanos, se ha reportado dos casos de uso de amantadina en influenza severa durante el tercer trimestre de embarazo (26,27,28). Debido a la falta de estudios que demuestren seguridad y eficacia durante el embarazo, se consideran categoría C (29) y se sugiere su uso sólo si el potencial beneficio justifica el riesgo potencial para el embrión o feto (24,25,30,31).…”

“…Durante las pandemias de 1918-19 (5) y 1957-58 (6,7) se objetivó una mayor mortalidad materna por complicaciones respiratorias; en períodos no epidémi-cos se describe mayor morbilidad, principalmente por neumonía primaria (6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). En 2004 se publicaron los primeros casos de IA en embarazadas en Chile hospitalizadas en nuestro centro, ninguna de ellas había recibido vacuna anti-influenza (13).…”

“…En période épidémique, les femmes enceintes de plus de 6 mois déve-loppent plus fréquemment que les femmes non enceintes une morbidité liée à la grippe (10,5/10 000, IC 95 [6,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]3] [16], versus < 1 % dans la population géné-rale). Il s'agit d'une complication sévère y compris en dehors de la grossesse, avec une mortalité rapportée de 12 à 40 % [17,18].…”
