Introduction: Infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is the second cause of sexually transmitted disease (ETS), with an increasing incidence, high rates of antibiotic resistance and with its greatest presentation at the genital level. Its presentation with bacteriemia is less than 3%, limiting its diagnosis due to its low performance. Therefore, we report the case. Case presentation: 60-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus, who was admitted due to polyarticular symptoms with synovitis, associated with a febrile syndrome, with no other finding on physical examination. Bacteremia due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae is documented, with a temporal link with previous sexual intercourse. Antibiotic treatment is indicated according to antibiogram with partner prophylaxis. Patient is discharged without any complications. Conclusion: Hematic dissemination by NG is a rare condition, with ver...

Introducción: La infección por Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) es la segunda causa enfermedad de transmisión sexual (ETS), con una incidencia en aumento, altas tasas de resistencia antibiótica y con su mayor presentación a nivel genital. Su presentación con bacteriemia es menor del 3 %, con limitante en su diagnóstico por su bajo rendimiento. Por lo anterior reportamos el caso. Presentación caso: Hombre de 60 años con antecedente de diabetes mellitus, quien ingresa por cuadro poliarticular con sinovitis, asociado a un síndrome febril, sin otro hallazgo al examen físico. Se documenta bacteriemia por NG, con nexo temporal con relación sexual previa. Se indica tratamiento antibiótico según antibiograma con profilaxis a pareja. Paciente egresa sin ninguna complicación. Conclusión: La diseminación hemática por NG es una condición rara, con síntomas iniciales muy inespecíficos,...

Maternal and perinatal health is one of today’s global health priorities. Cardiovascular disease and stroke are the leading causes of maternal mortality. Placental abruption remains a critical concern for maternal morbidity because it has been associated with long-term vascular disease. However, there is neither much literature available in Spanish nor recent evidence elucidating some questions on this topic. Thus, this review aims to synthesize recent evidence on the long-term risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in women with a personal history of placental abruption. It was found that, through complex pathophysiological mechanisms involving the structure and functionality of the placental vascular network with subsequent extension of vascular injury and production of proinflammatory and procoagulant factors which remain after delivery, major cardiovascular events are p...
