Abstract :
The ongoing pandemic of COVID–19 pneumonia is globally concerning. In depth knowledge of hazards of COVID–19 in pregnancy are unknown. We present a case report of a pregnant women having obstetric high–risk factors, such as severe pre–eclampsia culminating in preterm caesarean delivery with milder form of covid–19 infection progressed to bilateral COVID–19 pneumonia; later successful management leading to complete recovery of patient. Pneumonia was diagnosed by means of chest radiography in a confirmed case of COVID–19. The patient required intensive care unit with ventilatory support; which was later weaned off and discharged home in good condition. Baby born to her tested negative for COVID–19 infection also doesn’t developed symptoms of pneumonia. Close monitoring, early recognition of symptoms and prompt management with multidisciplinary team approach in COVID–19 cases has successful outcome in pregnant women. To predict the course of COVID–19 infection in pregnant women, in depth research is utmost needed.
