Introduction. Absent or reversed end-diastolic blood flow in the umbilical artery is usually associated with poor perinatal outcome and high perinatal mortality rate. Case report. We present the case of a pregnant woman with absent end-diastolic blood flow in the umbilical artery in the 27th week of pregnancy with initial restriction of fetal growth. All though it was more and more obvious that the fetal growth was hindered, the Doppler, cardiotocographic and biophysical parameters did not get any worse as the pregnancy developed. The full fetal maturation was reached after the intense monitoring of the fetal condition and the pregnancy was terminated in the 37lh week by elective Cesarean section. Conclusion. The basic purpose of prenatal fetal monitoring in the situation of hindered fetal growth with chronic hypoxia is to predict the phase of decompensation and to terminate pregnancy before it is developed. The major problem is in great individual variations at the moment of development of decompensation phase, so the major obstetric aim in the monitoring of the fetus hindered in growth is to determine the optimal time and way of delivery.

Background: The most common role procalcitonin play in current-day medicine is in the diagnosis and management of sepsis. Aside from sepsis, there are other known causes of elevated procalcitonin, for example, trauma and severe pancreatitis. We herein present a case of markedly elevated procalcitonin levels with an unusual cause, that is, anaphylaxis. Case report: A young lady presented to our hospital consecutively for anaphylaxis. Both presentations were associated with a markedly elevated procalcitonin level. She was discharged with an epinephrine autoinjector after the second visit. Recognition of anaphylaxis as a cause of elevated procalcitonin level can potentially change management as shown in this case report. This case report also highlights the importance of history taking and not to over rely on investigation results for patient management.
