Fetal demise in COVID-19 pregnant patient with preeclampsia - case report
| Resumo: | Abstract The aim of this report is to contribute to the pool of data on clinical outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infected infected pregnant patients. We present a case of fetal demise in an asymptomatic infected women, admitted at 39 weeks gestation with severe preeclampsia and late-onset fetal growth restriction. Higher incidence of preeclampsia among infected patients has been reported. Similar clinical, laboratorial and histopathological findings between systemic infection and preeclampsia suggest a common theme of endothelial damage and abnormal maternal circulation resulting in placental hypoperfusion, possibly leading to adverse obstetric outcomes. Further studies urge to access the impact of COVID-19 in pregnancy. |
