Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has spread across the globe and has been declared pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). People of all age groups are at risk of getting the disease. Pregnant women are at an increased risk of acquiring the infection and developing moderate-to-severe pneumonia resulting in adverse outcome. Case Descriptions: Published case series have shown that high-risk pregnancies have been associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Pregnancy-induced immune response might have an impact on maternal cardiovascular system and exaggerate the course of COVID-19 disease. Here, we report two cases of late pregnancy with COVID-19 one of which ended with complete recovery and another with adverse outcome. Conclusion: These two case scenarios might add to the emerging evidence of pregnancy outcome in COVID-19.
