ABSTRACT
This case study includes three pregnant women with COVID-19 diagnosed during pregnancy or delivery between March 28 and May 13, 2020. All cases were confirmed by a positive pharyngeal reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test and one case by computed tomography scan (CT Scan) in addition to the (RT-PCR). Clinical and laboratory information was extracted from hospital records during pregnancy and delivery. The adverse effects during pregnancy and after the birth of the newborn, the possibility of vertical transmission from positive pregnant mothers to the neonates were investigated.Of the three women with COVID-19 infection, one patient was diagnosed two weeks before delivery and two were diagnosed during delivery and hospitalization. No adverse effects including preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, rupture of the amniotic sac during pregnancy and premature delivery were observed but one of the patients suffered from intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). in this study, adverse pregnancy outcome was not observed in pregnant women with Covid-19 infection based on hospital observations. No vertical transmission was observed following vaginal delivery or cesarean section and during pregnancy. As the effect of the virus on different people in society varies according to their individual characteristics, our conclusion in this study on pregnant women is also affected by these individual differences, which requires further studies in this field with more samples.
