Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The most number of affected pregnant women is increasing, but scarce information is available about the clinical features Obstetrics Infections outcomes of pregnant patients with COVID-19 in pregnancy caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus Moreover maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes of patients who were infected in late pregnancy appeared very good, and these outcomes were achieved with intensive, active management that might be the best practice in the absence of more robust data. The clinical characteristics of these patients with COVID-19 during pregnancy were similar to those of non-pregnant adults with COVID-19 clinical symptoms from 33 Infections with or at risk of COVID-19 were mild and outcomes were favourable of the 3 neonates with symptomatic COVID-19, presented with early-onset SARS-CoV-2 infection. Because strict infection control and prevention procedures were implemented during the delivery, it is likely that the sources of SARS-CoV-2 in the clinical findings or investigations suggestive of COVID-19 affected to mothers, and all samples, including amniotic fluid, cord blood, and breast milk, were negative for SARS-CoV-2. The vertical maternal-fetal transmission cannot be ruled out in the current cohort. Therefore, it is crucial to screen pregnant women and implement strict infection control measures, quarantine of infected mothers, and close monitoring of at risk of COVID-19.
