ABSTRACT
There are numerous reports on the effects of the coronavirus disease on mothers and fetuses during pregnancy. It is currently unknown whether pregnancy is associated with a high risk of severe coronavirus disease. We report a pregnant patient with coronavirus disease who underwent a cesarean section. A pregnant 39-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with coronavirus disease at 25 weeks of gestation. Her breathing condition worsened daily, and she required oxygen administration. On day 6 of her 26th week of gestation, she developed severe pneumonia and required tracheal intubation and artificial ventilation, and an emergency cesarean section was performed under general anesthesia. It is necessary to investigate the risk of increased coronavirus disease severity during pregnancy, the effects of coronavirus disease on perinatal prognosis, and the management of pregnancy with coronavirus disease.
