Having appeared in China, the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly around the world. Pregnant women are patients with risk factors for the development of severe/complicated course of acute respiratory viral infection and influenza, but currently only a small number of studies have been published that highlight the features of the course of COVID-19, a disease caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, in pregnant women and newborns.
The purpose of this article is retrospective analysis of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with COVID-19.
The research method is retrospective analysis of the medical record of 128 pregnant and parturient women who were treated in the department of infectious disease from October 2021 to February 2022 at the premises of the Regional Perinatal Center in Taldykurgan City (Republic of Kazakhstan). Retrospective analysis also included 65 newborn histories from mothers who had experienced COVID-19.
COVID-19 disease can worsen the course of pregnancy by causing respiratory distress syndrome which can lead to premature birth and miscarriage. Currently, there is no reliable evidence of intrauterine transmission of COVID-19 from mother to fetus through the placenta, as well as transmission of the virus from mother to child through breast milk.
