Pregnancy outcome
The interval period from discharge to delivery was 42 to 109 days for
all three cases. Case A was admitted at 40 weeks, with a cervical score
of 6. After dinoprostone administration and oxytocin, a 3650 g male was
delivered with an APGAR score of 8 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes.
Epidural labour analgesia was administered when the cervix 3 cm dilated.
Case B had premature rupture of membranes at 35 weeks with transverse
presentation delivered using caesarean section to a 2800 g female baby.
APGAR score was 7 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes.
The newborns of Case A and B had no pneumonia, negative COVID-19 throat
swab nucleic acid test, and positive serum IgG. Neonate A was roomed-in
and was breastfed. At 1 month follow-up, neonate A was healthy and
asymptomatic. Neonate B was transferred to NICU due to preterm labour.
The neonate remained asymptomatic during admission and was discharged
after a week following two consecutive negative nucleic acid test
results. IgG was positive. At 2 months follow-up, the infant was healthy
and mixed-feeding.
The neonates of Case D and E were healthy and asymptomatic. Both of them
showed negative SARS-CoV-2 throat swab nucleic acid test, and positive
serum IgG (Table 2).
