ABSTRACT

The monoclonal antibody nirsevimab was at least 70% effective in preventing hospitalisations in infants with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Spain (Oct 2023-Jan 2024), where a universal immunisation programme began late September (coverage range: 79-99%). High protection was confirmed by two methodological designs (screening and test-negative) in a multicentre active surveillance in nine hospitals in three regions. No protection against RSV-negative LRTI-hospitalisations was shown. These interim results could guide public-health decision-making.

ABSTRACT

La transfusión feto-materna es el paso de eritrocitos fetales a la circulación materna. Cuando es masiva, tiene una incidencia aproximada del 0,2-0,9 %. Generalmente, se desconoce el agente desencadenante, pero, en ocasiones, se pueden identificar factores de riesgo. En el embarazo, suele ser asintomática; el síntoma más frecuente es la disminución de los movimientos fetales (el 26 %) en relación con la anemia grave. Se diagnostica mediante la detección de hemoglobina fetal en la sangre materna (test de Kleihauer o citometría de flujo). Se presenta a un recién nacido con anemia crónica secundaria a la transfusión fetomaterna, que, después del tratamiento con transfusión de concentrado de hematíes, tuvo como complicación síntomas de sobrecarga de volumen y empeoramiento clínico. Tras la realización de una exanguinotransfusión, evolucionó favorablemente, sin secuelas.


Fetomaternal transfusion (FMT) is defined by the transfer of fetal blood into the maternal circulation. The incidence of massive FMT is estimated to be approximately 0.2-0.9 % of births. Although a number of etiologies have been associated with FMT, most causes remain unidentified and the pregnancy is usually asymptomatic. The most frequent symptom is the decrease in fetal movements (26 %) in relation to severe anemia. Several diagnostic modalities for FMT are described (Kleihauer stain, flow cytometry). We describe a case of a newborn with chronic anemia secondary to FMT who, after treatment with transfusions of red blood cells, presented volume overload and clinical worsening as a complication. In this case, our patient needed exchange transfusion for definitive improvement without disability.
