Death of Woman with Peripartum Influenza B Virus Infection and Necrotizing Pneumonia (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/20/7/14-0230)

摘要

To the Editor: Pregnant women are at increased risk for severe influenza- related complications (1). Bacterial pneumonia with Panton-Valentine leukocidin- producing (PVL) Staphylococcus aureus is infrequently described in the literature as occurring concurrently with influenza B virus infection (2–4). Additionally, only 2 occurrences of peripartum PVL-methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) pneumonia have been described (5,6). We report a case of influenza B virus and PVL-MRSA coinfection during pregnancy.
