Abstract

Although there has been various pandemics throughout the history of humankind, modern age was thought to be ready to face such a challenge by implementing an advanced health care system. However, epidemic outbreaks are ubiquitous, and they have a substantial potential to evolve into pandemics, hence this being the actual context of SARS-CoV-2 pandemics from 2019. The difficulty of the addressed subject consists in the fact that the majority of pharmacological clinical studies omited pregnant patients. Acknowledging the physiological changes, pregnant women represent an unique group of patients as pregnancy could embody a particular substrate for this contemporary type of infection.
