Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Owing to limited information, the impact and clinical course of COVID-19 in pregnant women and newborns remain unclear. Here, we report the clinical course of a full-term pregnant woman with COVID-19 and her newborn. CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old pregnant woman with a fever and sore throat was diagnosed with COVID-19. To prevent and control SARS-CoV-2 infection to the newborn and medical staff, delivery was performed via cesarean section. Reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction results of the placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood, amniotic fluid, vaginal fluid, breastmilk, newborn anal wipes, and nasopharyngeal samples were negative for SARS-CoV-2. An acute increase in maternal blood pressure and HELLP syndrome-like blood data fluctuations were observed after delivery. CONCLUSION: Perinatal management of patients with COVID-19 could be safely performed for medical staff and newborns under adequate infection control measures. |
