ABSTRACT
Data on the vertical transmission rate of COVID-19 in pregnancy are limited, although data reporting mother-fetal transmission in the second trimester of pregnancy are controversial. We described a case of second-trimester twin stillbirth in a woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection in which placental and fetal markers of infection were detected, despite the absence of respiratory syndrome. The patient developed clinical chorioamnionitis and spontaneously delivered 2 stillborn infants. Placental histology and immunohistochemistry demonstrated SARS-CoV-2 infection mostly within the syncytiotrophoblast, and fetal autopsy showed the development of interstitial pneumonia. Our findings demonstrated that in utero vertical transmission is possible in asymptomatic pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection and that infection can lead to severe morbidity in the second trimester of pregnancy.
