ABSTRACT
Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak is increasing around the world in the number of cases, deaths, and affected countries. Currently, the knowledge regarding the clinical impact of COVID-19 on maternal, fetal, and placental aspects of pregnancy is minimal. Although the elderly and men were the most affected population, in previous situations, such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and the Ebola epidemic, pregnant women were more likely to develop complications than nonpregnant women. There are unanswered questions specific to pregnant women, such as whether pregnant women are more severely affected and whether intrauterine transmission occurs. Additional information is needed to inform key decisions, such as whether pregnant health care workers should receive special consideration, whether to separate infected mothers and their new borns, and whether it is safe for infected women to breastfeed.
RESUMO
Resumo A COVID-19 está se disseminando em todo o mundo, expandindo o número de casos, mortes e países afetados. Atualmente, o conhecimento sobre o impacto da COVID-19 nos desfechos materno, fetal e placentário da gravidez é mínimo. A despeito de serem os homens e idosos a população mais afetada em situações anteriores, como a pandemia de influenza H1N1 de 2009 e a epidemia de Ebola, as gestantes foram mais propensas a desenvolver complicações do que as mulheres não grávidas. Em relação à gravidez, existem questões específicas a serem respondidas, tais como se as mulheres grávidas são mais gravemente afetadas e se ocorre transmissão intrauterina. São necessárias informações adicionais para embasar a tomada de decisões, tais como; se as profissionais de saúde grávidas devem receber atenção especial, se é necessário separar as mães infectadas dos seus recém-nascidos e se é seguro que as puérperas infectadas amamentem.
