ABSTRACT
Corona virus disease-19(COVID-19) has stronger infectivity and pathogenicity. As a special population, pregnant women have different immune states and body functions from the general population. Pregnant women might be in a state of immunosuppression, and the expressions and activities of angiotensin converting enzyme 2(ACE2) are up-regulated and increased during pregnancy. The above suggests that pregant women may be more susceptible to COVID-19. Present clinical reports suggested that COVID-19 might not increase the incidence of severe maternal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The authors believed that pregnant women infected by COVID-19 should be timely diagnosed and treated, and their medication should be more careful, as compared with that for ordinary patients. Based on previous clinical experience, Diagnosis and Treatment Program Tongji Recommended for TCM Treatment of Pregnant Patients with COVID-19 was developed for clinical reference.
