COVID-19. Complicaciones del control prenatal y resultado perinatal

Abstract

There is little data on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on pregnancy. There are four cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction with real-time reverse transcription of nasopharyngeal secretions collected by swabs, in pregnant women with respiratory symptoms, who attended the author's prenatal care and perinatology consultation at the Hospital de Clínicas Caracas. The clinical evolution was acute for SARSCoV-2. They remained hospitalized for seven days, in two of them strict maternal and fetal surveillance was maintained, checking fetal well-being. Obstetric resolution was via cesarean section at 40 weeks, with satisfactory evolution. One of the newborns was sampled for SARS-CoV-2 serology for umbilical cord at birth, resulting in positive immunoglobulin G and M negative. The analysis of these data is important to guide clinical practice, covering prevention, detection, isolation, epidemiological investigation, diagnosis and treatment.
