ABSTRACT
Although there is no known difference between the clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant and non-pregnant women based on the studies published until now, in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments were suspended during the pandemic due to uncertainties with the suggestions of associated societies. However, we do not have enough data on the exact effects of SARS-CoV-2 on fertility and pregnancy and whether there are damaging effects on IVF outcome. There is no available evidence about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by either sexual way or through intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF. Up until now, there is no report to document the presence or absence of viral RNA in follicular fluid of SARS-CoV-2-positive women. In this paper, we present a case of oocyte retrieval from a SARS-CoV-2-positive woman and the search for viral RNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the follicular fluid aspirates.
