Conclusion
COVID-19 infection in pregnancy may cause severe outcomes for mothers
and infants. Early detection and initiation of appropriate management
are therefore crucial. An important clinical manifestation of critically
ill pregnant women infected with COVID-19 is the progressive decline in
blood oxygen and hypoxemia that is difficult to correct even with
supportive oxygen therapy. The degree of lymphocytopenia, markedly
increased serum procalcitonin, IL-6 and amyloid A are prominent features
of critically ill patients.
