摘要

摘要目的描述严重升高的降钙素原(PCT)水平与产后肌瘤变性的新表现。我们报告一例34岁女性多发性大肌瘤,产后2天发现发烧,PCT水平严重升高34.03 ng/mL。MRI显示她的肌瘤结节变性,其他病因如感染被排除。作为预防措施,她成功地接受了静脉注射非甾体抗炎药和抗生素的治疗。本报告提示降钙素原可能继发于肌瘤变性引起的炎症状态。本研究中所有受试者均获得了知情同意。结论子宫平滑肌瘤是一种发生在女性生殖道的肿瘤,发病率在20-40%之间。肌瘤的一个已知并发症是变性,当肌瘤可梗死,由于血液供应减少。这可以引起炎症状态,释放多种炎症标志物。在怀孕期间,白细胞计数等常规指标可能不可靠。其他标志物,如降钙素原,在怀孕期间还没有得到很好的研究。这种情况下,提供从业人员的一个例子,标记原降钙素可用于更准确地评估妊娠期间的炎症状态。它也为产后发热的检查提供了替代诊断。

Postpartum fibroid degeneration associated with elevated procalcitonin levels
Abstract Objectives To describe a novel presentation of severely elevated procalcitonin (PCT) levels associated with postpartum fibroid degeneration. Case presentation We report a case of a 34-year-old woman with multiple large fibroids who was found to have fevers and a severely elevated PCT level of 34.03 ng/mL 2 days postpartum. MRI revealed carneous degeneration of her fibroids, and other etiologies such as infection were ruled out. She was successfully treated with the use of intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, as a precaution. This report indicates procalcitonin may be elevated secondary to the inflammatory state caused by degenerating fibroids. Informed consent was obtained from all individuals included in this study. Conclusions Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are tumors of the female reproductive tract affecting anywhere from 20–40% of women. One known complication of fibroids is degeneration, when the fibroid can infarct due to a decrease in blood supply. This can cause an inflammatory state with the release of multiple inflammatory markers. During pregnancy, routine markers such as white blood cell counts may be unreliable. Other markers such as procalcitonin are not well-studied in pregnancy. This case provides practitioners an example where the marker procalcitonin can be used to more accurately assess an inflammatory state during pregnancy. It also provides alterative diagnoses in the workup of postpartum fever.

期刊介绍: Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
