BACKGROUND:

Recent studies refers pregnant women as a population of high risk due to the pandemic of COVID-19, because they are more vulnerable to the most aggressive manifestations in the illness and for the high risk of experiencing obstetric and neonatal complications. This study has objective to present the report of a pregnant woman's case infected by SARS-CoV-2 that had a critical state of health and in who a favorable maternal-infantile evolution was achieved.

CLINIC CASE:

Feminine of 27 years old, with pregnancy of 30 weeks of gestation, who was diagnosed with pneumonia for SARS-CoV-2. Because a critical state of health, pregnancy was interrupted for Caesarean operation and the patient had to be treated with mechanic ventilation and pharmacological cocktail, having a favorable evolution after 22 days of hospitalization. It is suspected that the maternal hypoxia can be cause of fetal suffering; however, there is not documented evidence that establishes it, therefore, it will be carried out biophysical profile in all pregnant patient with oxygen saturation smaller than 90% in order to corroborate fetal well-being and to value interruption of the pregnancy in an opportune way. A positive correlation is observed among pneumonia by SARS-CoV-2 and premature birth.

CONCLUSION:

Due to the complicated health situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in particular for infected pregnant women, timely diagnostic algorithms must be established and the most effective medical interventions should be used based on the review of cases in which a good outcome and prognosis for the mother and her child.
