| Abstract | ||
| The immune system of pregnant women is already compromised, therefore it's not surprising that they're more likely to get severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the risk of vertical and horizontal transmission of COVID-19 during pregnancy and its clinical course are mostly unclear. The purpose of this study was to analyse pregnancy outcomes after Covid 19 infection. This retrospective research analysed data from pregnant women who tested positive for Covid 19 using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the Isolation hospital of the Faculty of Medicine in Banha, Qalyubia between February 2020 and February 2022. A thorough history was taken, a full physical was performed, an abdominal exam was conducted, and an Ultrasound was performed on every patient. The findings showed that 75 percent of the patients had fever, 68.3 percent experienced dry cough, 48.3 percent experienced tiredness, 34.3 percent experienced dyspnea, 11.7 percent experienced diarrhoea, 3.3 percent experienced headache, and 25% required ventilation. The primary haematological alterations include a decrease in leukocyte count and lymphocyte count, and these changes coincide with an increased risk of foetal or maternal death owing to the presence of COVID-19 during pregnancy. | ||
