4.Post-partum Invasive Group B Streptococcus Infection With Fatal Outcome: A Case Report
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences 2018;14(3):57-59
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is generally known to cause severe disease in the neonate and immunocompromised adults. GBS in the pregnant mother is rare and can potentially be fatal. Clinical presentation can be as mild as an uncomplicated urinary tract infection or serious invasive disease in the form of bacteremia, chorioamnionitis, endometritis and septic abortion. We report a case of a 46-year-old Para 3 lady, post-partum day 12, whom was found dead at home. Prior to her death, she had intermittent fever and abnormal lochia. Autopsy findings indicate GBS endometritis and bacteraemia. She was never screened for GBS. The cost-effectiveness of universal GBS screening needs to be explored to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity due to GBS.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the
sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and
negative predictive value (NPV) of post mortem computed
tomography (PMCT) in detecting liver and splenic injuries
due to road traffic accidents.
Material & Method: 61 road traffic accidental death cases
underwent both PMCT and conventional autopsy. The
imaging findings were compared to the conventional
autopsy findings.
Result: The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for liver
injuries in PMCT was 71%, 82%, 68% and 85% while that of
splenic injuries was 73%, 80%, 55% and 90% respectively.
The accuracy of PMCT scan was 79% for both liver and
splenic injuries. There is strong association between lower
left ribs fracture and splenic injury (p=0.005) and significant
association between positive liver and splenic PMCT finding
and intraabdominal fatal injury (p=0.037).
Conclusion: In conclusion PMCT has high specificity and
NPV for liver and splenic injuries; however the sensitivity
and PPV are low. The overall accuracy is not high enough to
enable PMCT to be used as a replacement for conventional
autopsy; however it is a useful complementary examination
and has potential to be used as decision making tool for
selective internal autopsy.

9.Examination of Abdominal Organ in Forensic Autopsy.
Korean Journal of Legal Medicine 1998;22(2):52-55
The dissection in forensic case is basically similar to any other sutopsy, with variations according to the nature of the death and the needs of the particular investigation. There are a number of manuals devoted to the performance of an autopsy and here only an outline of the technique to examining abdominal organs and described some postmortem artefacts. There are many facets of the autopsy, and there are a number of associated matters. Thus procedure of the autopsy is properly operated according to the circumstances.
