ABSTRACT
The first cases of infection caused by new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus were reported in China in December 2019. This disease is called COVID-19 and has been declared as a pandemic by the WHO three months after its outbreak (in March 2020). In most cases it results in non-severe infectious syndrome associated with different degrees of benign symptoms (fever, cough, myalgia, headache and potential digestive disorders). SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe lung diseased and, sometimes, it results in death. Data on its consequences during pregnancy are limited. Currently, data on SARS-CoV-2 infection are reassuring and don´t indicate a higher risk of infection or a superimposed risk of complications in pregnant women compared to the general population. A few exceptional cases of maternal mortality have been reported, but they occur, most often, in patients with other diseases, in particular pre-eclampsia. This retrospective study highlights the clinical, biological and evolutionary materno-fetal data collected in the COVID-19 Military Field Hospital of Benslimane, Morocco, over a period of 3 months, from 21st July to 21 October 2020.
