Abstract

The World Health Organization warned that the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak could be considered a “pandemic.” The pandemic has put uncovered vulnerable populations across international health crises. The author presented a case report of a young woman, pregnant in the third trimester, diagnosed with COVID- 19, and presented with PROM. A 19-year-old woman presented with a 4-day history of low-grade fever. She was diagnosed with premature rupture of membranes and vaginal bleeding, and suspicion of COVID-19. PROM test was positive. The main procedure was emergency C-section delivery in the next 24 hours. The neonatal isolation was implemented immediately after birth, without delayed cord clamping or skin-to-skin contact. The neonatal nasopharyngeal swab after delivery was Coronavirus (COVID-19) positive. A severe case of maternal and neonatal COVID-19 during the third trimester of pregnancy led to premature rupture of membranes and vaginal bleeding, and preterm delivery. A multidisciplinary team for treating and managing severe COVID-19 during pregnancy is critical for positive patient outcomes.
