Abstract

Contracting COVID-19 during pregnancy is a clinical concern as knowledge of altered immunity is limited, and so cases should be considered separately in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Although there is no clear evidence that pregnancy increases the risk of COVID-19, it is thought that susceptibility to infection and the intensification of respiratory symptoms may be increased, given the physiological changes in pregnancy and increased mortality and morbidity in many viral diseases. Accordingly, the management of COVID-19 in pregnant patients and those considered among the high-risk groups represent a challenge for clinicians. Numerous studies of COVID-19 have been published to date or are ongoing, yet pregnant women are generally excluded from clinical studies. Clinical experiences and case reports occupy an important position in literature, and we present hare a case in which the diagnosis of a patient being fol- lowed by our clinic was delayed due to the absence of SARS CoV-2 in recurrent upper-respiratory-tract sampling, and whose clinical findings worsened with initial COVID-19 treatment during pregnancy. Her delivery by caesarean section (C-section) was the result of a multidisciplinary decision. We draw atten- tion to the diagnostic process and treatment ap- proach

Özet

Gebelikte COVID-19, değişen immunite; tanı ve tedavideki farklılıklar ile ayrı ele alınması gereken, bilgilerimizin sınırlı olduğu bir klinik tablodur. Gebe- likte gerçekleşen fizyolojik değişiklikler ve pek çok viral hastalıkta artmış mortalite ve morbidite göz önüne alındığında, gebeliğin enfeksiyonlara yatkınlı- ğa ve solunumsal semptomlarda şiddetlenmeye ne- den olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle riskli gruplar arasında değerlendirilmesi gereken gebelerde COVID-19 yönetimi klinisyenler için zorluklar içer- mektedir. COVID-19 ile ilgili çok sayıda çalışma yayınlanmış ya da devam etmekte olsa da gebeler genellikle klinik çalışmaların dışında tutulmaktadır. Bu nedenle klinik deneyimler, olgu paylaşımları literatür- de önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Kliniğimizde takip ettiğimiz, tekrarlayan üst solunum yolu örneklemele- rinde SARS CoV-2 saptanmaması nedeniyle tanısı geciken, gebelikte kullanılabilen COVID-19 tedavisi altında klinik bulgularda kötüleşme olması üzerine multidisipliner yaklaşım ile sezaryen kararı alınarak tedavisi şekillendirilen olgumuzu, tanı süreci ve tedavi yaklaşımına dikkat çekerek sunmayı amaçladık.
