Antibiotic prophylaxis in cesarean section causing anaphylaxis and intrauterine fetal death

The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research
Amit Sengupta, Jasvinder K Kohli

Abstract

Intrauterine fetal death and maternal shock occurred as a result of a type-1 hypersensitivity reaction following antibiotic prophylaxis in a cesarean section. Amniotic fluid embolism may mimic the condition. The ability to diagnose and treat such an event as early as possible is necessary in all maternity centers. The selection of antibiotic regimen and the type of anesthesia should be individualized depending upon the existing facilities and the patient's profile, especially in a resource-scarce developing country.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
