Maternal morbidity following routine second trimester genetic amniocentesis.

Two cases of septic complications of routine second trimester amniocentesis are presented. The first case is a 37-year-old gravida suffering from ulcerative colitis who was admitted for amniocentesis in the 18th week of her third pregnancy. An uncomplicated transabdominal amniocentesis was performed using a sterile technique and ultrasound guidance. Twenty-eight hours later the patient had a septic abortion and sepsis. The second case is a 34-year-old gravida in the 24th week of her pregnancy who was admitted with amnionitis 10 h after an uncomplicated amniocentesis, and subsequently had a septic abortion. A high index of suspicion and rapid intervention were crucial in both cases.

Three fatal cases of invasive serotype VI group B streptococcal infection.

Serotype VI group B Streptococcus (GBS) has been almost frequently isolated among colonizing strains of pregnant women in Japan, but the clinical features and prognosis, when a patient is invasively infected, are largely unknown. We report, for the first time, three cases of fatal infection caused by serotype VI GBS; two cases were middle-aged men with necrotizing fasciitis/cellulitis, sepsis, and toxic shock syndrome with poorly controlled diabetes as underlying conditions; and one was a premature infant with intrauterine infection. Our results indicated that type VI GBS is pathogenic for humans not only in fetuses but also adults, and has the ability to be fatal, at least in selected patients.
