Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an emerging disease with rapid increases in cases. COVID-19 is a single-stranded RNA virus which can produce diseases in Humans and Animals also. As COVID-19 is a developing health issue in the World, Experts also remain unsure whether pregnant women are having a higher risk of COVID-19 or not. The emergency of acute health care, it is particularly deadly in large populations and communities in which health care providers are insufficiently prepared to manage the COVID-19 infection. And cases have increased in other countries around the world day by day. It has increased the possibility of vertical transmission of the virus from the mother to the fetus—the WHO the total confirmed cases as of 12th April as 1,836,041. Total death 113,233and pregnant women having positive corona cases is 38, as of 1st April 2020. Partial suppression of the immune system in pregnancy can increase the chances of a viral infection such as flu (influenza) in pregnant women. World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that there is no specific evidence exists that pregnant women are more prone to severe COVID-19 symptoms than other general people. Physiologic and immunologic changes in pregnant women have systemic effects which in an increased risk of respiratory infections, various other changes like cardiovascular system, Respiratory system, increased heart rate and decreased lung capacity. Pregnant women become infected with two pathogenic corona virus infections, one as a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and other one is Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).

From the beginning of corona virus disease 19(COVID-19) pandemic, there has been concern how to protect vulnerable group like pregnant women from severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2(SARS-CoV-2). Historically, pregnant women experiences increased mortality during any pandemic situation. Pregnant women show almost the similar clinical features as that of non-pregnant adults with COVID-19 infection. Different systematic reviews have begun to focus light on pregnancy outcomes in COVID-19 patients, but knowledge is very limited and still the basis is case series and individual experiences. Apart from the scientifically proven therapeutic options used in COVID-19 such as steroid, low molecular weight heparin, the role of convalescent plasma therapy (CPT) has never been evaluated. We present a case of a pregnant woman of 32 weeks of conception, treated with CPT with favourable outcome in a private hospital of Dhaka, Bangladesh. BSMMU J 2021; 14 (COVID -19 Supplement): 64-66

Introduction: Corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19), produced by severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV2), has become a global pandemic, giving rise to a serious health threat globally. In India we have seen a two wave pattern of reported cases with peak of rst wave in September 2020 and peak of second wave in May 2021.Women undergoing pregnancy and those at the time of child birth and puerperium constitute potentially vulnerable populations for covid-19. Aims And Objectives: To evaluate differences in clinical presentation, co-morbidities, pregnancy complications and outcomes in women with covid-19 during rst wave and second wave of covid-19 pandemic. Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of all hospitalized pregnant and postpartum woman with SARS-CoV2 infection in Government General Hospital, Kurnool. All the patients admitted from 1st May to 31st October 2020 were considered to be in the rst wave and those admitted from 1st April to 31st June were considered to be in second wave. Results: Incidence of cases has increased from 14.18 to 16.8%.There was two fold increase in the symptomatic cases from 4.2 to 8%patients in the second wave were younger in the age group of 16-25yrs.The number of pregnant women delivered by Caesarean section have increased from 57.5 %to 61.1 %.ICU admissions have signicantly increased from 2.7% to 3.1% Case fatality rate has increased from 0.4%-1.1%. As observed from the above results there is higher frequency of severe Covid 19,increased ICU ad Conclusion: missions and maternal deaths in second wave of Covid 19 pandemic as compared to the rst wave .Although the exact causes of increase in severity and mortality are unknown ,but probably due to emergence of most pathological strains of SARS-Co2.

Knowledge And Practice

Abstract Background: The current corona virus disease (COVID-19) is now become the global concerns and declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization on March 2020. To date, no antiviral treatment or vaccine has been explicitly recommended for COVID-19. So, applying preventive measures to control COVID-19 infection is the most critical intervention. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to respiratory pathogens and severe pneumonia, because they are at immunosuppressive state and physiological adaptive change during pregnancy. As the same time the determinants of knowledge and practice to prevent COVID-19 among pregnant women, who constitute vulnerable groups, are yet to be evaluated. This study was therefore designed to assess knowledge and practice of preventive measures against corona virus disease and its associated factors among pregnant women in Debre Tabor Town. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 pregnant women from May 25-June 15, 2020. Simple random sampling technique was employed. Data was collected by face to face interview using structured and pre-tested questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 23. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was carried out and p-value < 0.05 at 95% CI were considered as statistically significant. Result: A total of 422 participants were included with response rate of 95.9%. The mean age was 27.15 (SD± 4.719) years. About 46.8% and 47.6 % of women were knowledgeable and had good practice against corona virus respectively. The predictor for knowledge were age(15-24)( AOR=4.85, 95% CI: 1.34-5.42), educational status(AOR:3.70; 95% CI: 1.16-5.40) being civil servant (AOR:2.84; 95% CI: 1.55-5.21), wanted pregnancy(AOR:3.37; 95% CI: 1.20-9.45), antenatal care follow-up(AOR:2.07; 95% CI: 1.03-4.13), whereas educational status (AOR:3.78; 95% CI: 1.19-5.11), number of children (AOR:2.89; 95% CI: 1.29-6.45) and knowledge (AOR:8.42;95% CI: 4.50-15.85), were also the predictors for practice. Conclusion: This study showed that most of the participants had poor knowledge and inappropriate practice. As per finding increasing health education program via different medias, coordinated and combined efforts of authorities and all individuals will be needed to battles the spread of the pandemic.

First Case

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the emerging virus, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was announced as a pandemic by the World Health Organization as a global public health emergency. Since the first case of COVID-19 was declared the Moroccan government set up drastic preventative measures to deal with the spread of the virus such as compulsory containment, telework, distance education, use of masks in public places, and many other preventive measures. Pregnant women require special attention in relation to prevention, diagnosis and management. We herein reported a prospective observational study that aims to evaluate the security and effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine on pregnant women with corona virus disease. Our study is a prospective study performed in the three hospitals specialized on corona virus disease 2019 in tangier morocco. We included pregnant women hospitalized with COVID-19 and reproductive-aged. Most cases took the hydroxychloroquine treatment. The maternal outcomes under hydroxychloroquine appear good in most cases for both mother and child and seemed to be safe according to several studies on its use for rheumatic diseases. In the absence of more robust data, this treatment might be best practice in countries that can’t afford the expensive antiviral treatment in this outbreak especially in emergency situations.

Kerentanan wanita hamil terhadap infeksi menjadi latar belakang perlunya studi tentang pengaruh COVID-19 baik pada ibu, janin, maupun bayi yang dilahirkan.  TUJUAN: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kasus COVID-19 pada ibu hamil, potensi transmisi vertikal, ada tidaknya asam nukleat SARS-CoV-2 pada ASI, pengaruh COVID-19 pada perkembangan janin, serta pengobatan ibu hamil dengan COVID-19. METODE: Studi ini mengulas dan membandingkan sumber dari artikel penelitian, laporan kasus, dan review dari jurnal internasional bereputasi. HASIL: Sebagian besar kasus COVID-19 yang ditemukan pada wanita hamil adalah tergolong kasus ringan, adanya transmisi vertikal yang rendah dibuktikan dari hasil tes sampel ibu dan bayi, minimnya kasus spontaneous abortus, kelahiran bayi prematur, kematian bayi, serta gangguan perkembangan. ASI dari ibu hamil positif COVID-19 juga cukup aman diberikan pada bayi dikarenakan kasus positif asam nukleat SARS-CoV-2 sangat minim ditemukan. KESIMPULAN: Berdasarkan studi yang komprehensif, COVID-19 pada ibu hamil sejauh ini masih cukup terkendali. Namun demikian perlu adanya tes yang menyeluruh sebab setiap individu memiliki kondisi yang berbeda satu dengan lainnya. Kata Kunci: COVID-19, janin, kehamilan, SARS-CoV-2, transmisi   BACKGROUND: Corona Virus 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory tract caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has become a pandemic worldwide. COVID-19 has gathered the entire world population including pregnant women. The vulnerability of pregnant women to infections is become the background was to know the effect of COVID-19 both on the mother, fetus, and baby born. OBJECTIVE:  This study aims to determine the description of COVID-19 cases in pregnant women, the potential for vertical transmission, the presence or absence of nucleic acid SARS-CoV-2 in breast milk, the effect of COVID-19 on fetal development, and the treatment of pregnant women with COVID-19. METHOD: This study attempts to review and compare sources from research articles, case reports, and reviews from reputable international journals. RESULT: Most cases of COVID-19 found in pregnant women are classified as mild cases, the presence of low vertical transmission is evidenced from the results of mother and baby sample tests, the lack of cases of spontaneous abortion, premature baby births, infant deaths, and developmental disorders. Breastfeeding from COVID-19 positive pregnant women is also quite safe given to infants because positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid are very low. CONCLUSION: Based on a comprehensive study, COVID-19 in pregnant women so far is still quite under control. However, there needs to be a thorough test because each individual has different conditions from one another. Keywords: COVID-19, fetus, pregnancy, SARS-CoV-2, transmission
