The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection caused by se- vere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS COV-2) and Garbha-Kala is one of the most crucial and responsible stages in women's life. COVID-19 can produce a devastating effect on maternal wellbeing. Ayurveda has mentioned the pandemic situation under the term Janapadodhwamsa which spread through Vayu, Jala, Desha and Kala. The outbreak of Covid-19 is severely affecting the world. It is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. It has mainly respiratory and systemic manifestations. People having diabetes, chronic diseases, pregnant women are more prone to this infection as they are more susceptible to path- ogens and the development of severe conditions like pneumonia. Due to the physiological changes during preg- nancy, pregnant women are the most vulnerable group in this pandemic situation because infection during preg- nancy can result in adverse outcomes. Much research is still in continuation because we are not sure of much evi- dence till now. Many preventive protocols suggested by Ayurveda can prevent the prevalence of disease up to some extent.

The pregnancy process involves many physiological changes, including weight gain, hormonal, metabolic and immune changes. One of the effective factors in this process is infection caused by microorganisms. Originally, before the advent of antibiotics, pregnancy was known as a risk factor for severe complications of pneumococcal pneumonia. Among viral infections, the 2009 flu pandemic issued a newer warning that some infections may disproportionately affect pregnant women and cause miscarriage and its complications during pregnancy. Generalization of pregnancy as a condition of suppression of the general immune system or increased risk is misleading and prevents the establishment of adequate guidelines for the treatment of pregnant women during epidemics. Viral infection has also become an important factor in pregnancy conditions. The recent outbreak of Ebola and other viral outbreaks and epidemics shows how pregnant women show worse outcomes (such as preterm delivery and fetal adverse outcomes) than the general population and non-pregnant women. The purpose of this article is studying pathogenesis of microorganisms and the risks which pose to the mother and the fetus. In order to investigate these factors, from 120 article prepared from google scholar and Pub med, Elsevier database. Knowing these factors can increase the ability to treat the infections in a timely manner and prevent their effects on the fetus and the patient.

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS- CoV-2). Covid-19 pandemic began in the end of 2019 and spread all over the world in a short duration of time. Like two other notable beta coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-1 (SARS-CoV-1) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), SARS-CoV-2 can lead to severe contagious respiratory disease. Due to impaired cellular immunity and physiological changes, pregnant women are susceptible to respiratory disease and are more likely to develop severe pneumonia.

The article provides a brief review of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases on the clinical and immunological features of the course of the COVID-19 in pregnant women caused by SARS-CoV-2. The significance of physiological changes in the body of a pregnant woman, namely, an increase in the metabolic rate and oxygen consumption, a decrease in the functional residual capacity, in the adaptability of the immune response in pregnant women to infection is shown. The factors are described that allow pregnant women to be included in the risk group for the development of a COVID-19, such as a decrease in the immune response due to a semi-allogeneic fetus, preeclampsia, as well as a cytokine storm during the pro-inflammatory period of pregnancy. The analysis of the world literature data concerning the clinical and immunological features of the new coronavirus infection in pregnant women made it possible to conclude that the issue of developing an effective method for modulating the immune response by the body of a pregnant woman is insufficiently studied.

Malaria is one of the oldest infectious disease that continues to affect annually more than 200 million people globally. Pregnant women are the second most vulnerable group to malaria, besides children. A pregnant woman with malaria risks detrimental harm to herself and to her child resulting in adverse pregnancy outcomes. These adverse outcomes contribute to maternal, neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is essential to protect pregnant women from malaria to improve the public health burden in malaria endemic countries.

Around the end of December 2019, a new beta-coronavirus from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China began to spread rapidly. The new virus, called SARS-CoV-2, which could be transmitted through respiratory droplets, had a range of mild to severe symptoms, from simple cold in some cases to death in others. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 was named COVID-19 by WHO and has so far killed more people than SARS and MERS. Following the widespread global outbreak of COVID-19, with more than 132758 confirmed cases and 4955 deaths worldwide, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic disease in January 2020. Earlier studies on viral pneumonia epidemics has shown that pregnant women are at greater risk than others. During pregnancy, the pregnant woman is more prone to infectious diseases. Research on both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, which are pathologically similar to SARS-CoV-2, has shown that being infected with these viruses during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal death, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation and, preterm delivery. With the exponential increase in cases of COVID-19 throughout the world, there is a need to understand the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the health of pregnant women, through extrapolation of earlier studies that have been conducted on pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV. There is an urgent need to understand the chance of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to fetus and the possibility of the virus crossing the placental barrier. Additionally, since some viral diseases and antiviral drugs may have a negative impact on the mother and fetus, in which case, pregnant women need special attention for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.

Background: Pregnancy may increase the risk of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection because of pregnancy induced immune suppression. The objective of this study was to use a large population-based dataset to estimate the prevalence of HPV infection and its association with adverse outcomes among pregnant women. Methods: We analyzed Pregnancy Risk Monitoring System data from 2004-2011 (N=26,085) to estimate the self-reported HPV infection. Survey logistic procedures were used to examine the relationship between HPV infection and adverse perinatal outcomes. Results: Approximately 1.4% of women were estimated to have HPV infection during their pregnancy. The prevalence of adverse outcomes in this sample was preterm birth (8.4%), preeclampsia (7.5%), low birth weight (6.3%) and premature rupture of membranes (2.8%). Compared to women without HPV infection, HPV infection positive women were much more likely to have had other infections such as chlamydia (9.23% vs. 2.12%, p-value <.0001), Group B Strep (21.7% vs. 10.04%, p-value <.0001), and herpes (7.17% vs. 1.07%, p-value <.0001). After adjusting for other risk factors including other infections, HPV infection was significantly associated with low birth weight (OR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.14-3.30). Conclusion: The study indicated a potential association between HPV infection and low birth weight. Because pregnant women with HPV infection are at higher risk of other infections, future research may focus on the roles of co-infection in the development of adverse perinatal effects.
