Maternal-fetal immune responses in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2

Valeria Garcia-Flores et al.

Summary: This study presents the maternal-fetal immune responses triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and highlights the rarity of placental infection. A T-cell dominant inflammatory response is observed at the maternal-fetal interface, but the virus remains undetectable in the placenta while triggering specific immune responses in the neonatal circulation.

An update on COVID-19 and pregnancy

Denise J. Jamieson et al.

Summary: Physiological, mechanical, and immunologic changes in pregnancy may affect susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19. Pregnancy is a risk factor for severe disease, with pregnant individuals more likely to experience adverse outcomes. Intrauterine transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is rare, possibly due to low viral levels and reduced expression of necessary receptors in the placenta. COVID-19 and its impact on healthcare systems have also had negative effects on pregnancy outcomes.

Clinical-pathological features in placentas of pregnancies with SARS-CoV-2 infection and adverse outcome: case series with and without congenital transmission

Mehreen Zaigham et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between clinical outcomes and pathology in SARS-CoV-2 infected placentas in stillborn and live-born infants. The study found that SARS-CoV-2 can cause placental dysfunction, leading to fetal hypoxia and intrauterine fetal compromise. Pathological changes in the placenta associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection included massive perivillous fibrinoid deposition, intervillositis, and trophoblast degeneration.

Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in the first trimester placenta leading to transplacental transmission and fetal demise from an asymptomatic mother

Prajakta Shende et al.

Summary: This study reported a case of a pregnant woman infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the first trimester, although she was asymptomatic. Viral RNA was detected in the placenta at 13 weeks of gestation, indicating potential vertical transmission of the virus. The study provides evidence of SARS-CoV-2 persisting in the placenta and its association with adverse outcomes in early pregnancy, such as hydrops fetalis and fetal demise.

Summary: When admitted to labor and delivery, there were similar rates of intrauterine fetal death and neonatal death between individuals who tested positive and negative for SARS-CoV-2. Other immediate outcomes of the newborns were also comparable between the two groups.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and perinatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Barbara Chmielewska et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes, leading to increased rates of stillbirth, maternal death, surgically managed ectopic pregnancies, and postpartum depression. Disparities exist between high-resource and low-resource settings, emphasizing the urgent need for prioritizing safe, accessible, and equitable maternity care in response to this pandemic and future health crises.

Case Report: SARS-CoV-2 Mother-to-Child Transmission and Fetal Death Associated With Severe Placental Thromboembolism

Penelope Saldanha Marinho et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy is generally not associated with significant adverse effects, but this study reported a fetal death in a 34-week-pregnant woman with mild COVID-19. The virus was detected in the placenta and various fetal tissues, with placental abnormalities consistent with intense vascular malperfusion likely being the cause of fetal death. Monitoring inflammatory response and coagulation in high-risk pregnant women with COVID-19 may help prevent unfavorable outcomes, as demonstrated in this case.
