ABSTRACT
The early postpartum period is crucial for mothers who have a complicated delivery due to preeclampsia. In mothers with symptoms of COVID-19, there may be severe and sometimes fatal consequences. We report the first maternal death in Balouchestan (Iran) due to complicated delivery with preeclampsia concomitant with COVID-19 postpartum. The patient was asymptomatic for COVID-19 during the delivery and rapidly progressed to severe respiratory distress and coagulopathy in the early postpartum period. Mothers with preeclampsia features may be at risk for severe COVID-19, and detailed assessments are essential for these patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
