MIRA, Ana Rita; ENES, Margarida; COELHO, Hélder Oliveira  and  GODINHO, Ana Beatriz. Fetal demise in COVID-19 pregnant patient with preeclampsia - case report. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.4, pp.381-383.  Epub Dec 31, 2021. ISSN 1646-5830.

The aim of this report is to contribute to the pool of data on clinical outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infected infected pregnant patients. We present a case of fetal demise in an asymptomatic infected women, admitted at 39 weeks gestation with severe preeclampsia and late-onset fetal growth restriction. Higher incidence of preeclampsia among infected patients has been reported. Similar clinical, laboratorial and histopathological findings between systemic infection and preeclampsia suggest a common theme of endothelial damage and abnormal maternal circulation resulting in placental hypoperfusion, possibly leading to adverse obstetric outcomes. Further studies urge to access the impact of COVID-19 in pregnancy.
