Abstract
- The outbreak of the infection of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-‐19) has become a challenging public health threat worldwide. Limited data are available for pregnant women with COVID‐19 pneumonia. We report a case of a convalescing pregnant woman diagnosed with COVID‐19 infection 37 days before delivery in the third trimester. A live birth without severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection was performed successfully via the vagina. The findings from our case indicate that there is no intrauterine transmission in this woman who developed COVID‐19 pneumonia in late pregnancy. Highlights: The newborn was delivered by vaginal delivery, different from most of the cases.The results showed that intrauterine vertical transmission was not observed in our case.Our finding will be helpful for formulating the principles of obstetric treatment for pregnant women with COVID‐19.
