coronavirus disease COVID-19, the pregnantAbstract
Based on inspection of scientific literature we can see information about current coronavirus disease COVID-19 in pregnant women and influence this infection on the course of pregnancy. Besides, we found out information about perinatal transmission and treatment features. Today we install certain features of clinical and laboratory manifestations of infection SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant women, certainly, we must consider all this things for early diagnosis of the disease and severity assessment COVID-19. What’s more, all pregnant women which are on the second and the third trimester especially need of direct care, because we have information about significant deterioration in the course of infection with rapid progression of acute respiratory failure and multiple organ failure in perinatal or postpartum period. All things considered, we should follow to acting and unified recommendations in own country, when we treat pregnant women with severe or critical current coronavirus disease COVID-19.
