| Abstract: | The Pandemic H1N1/09 virus is a swine origin Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 virus strain responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. While only mild symptoms are experienced by the majority of people, some patients, who in the following article will be considered as coming from risk groups, can develop more severe complications, even leading to death. Risk groups being considered: asthmatics, diabetics, obese or immune compromised patients, children with neurodevelopmental conditions, and most important from our point of view, pregnant women. In the next lines we are going to present two clinical cases of pregnant women, both presented in our hospital, supposed to have AH1N1 viral infection and treated in consequence, but unfortunately both ended malevolent as result of the severe and very rapid deterioration of their status. Although the two cases were similar as evolution and ending, there were also important differences between them, which can guide us for the future in investigating and treating this kind of pathology. |
