Introduction
The recent epidemic of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that started from Wuhan, China, has continued to receive worldwide attention since the initial reports in December 2019.1 To the best of our knowledge, the number of studies documenting the clinical condition of pregnant women with COVID-19 are few.2,3 Moreover, reports on critically ill pregnant women with severe pneumonia are rare.4 Pneumonia during pregnancy is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.5 Previous studies have only described the general epidemiological findings, clinical presentation, and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. However, specific information on critically ill pregnant patients is scanty.2,3 Herein, we report the first case of a critically ill pregnant woman with COVID-19 pneumonia in her third trimester of pregnancy.
