Abstract

Since the end of December 2019, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has occurred and spread rapidly throughout the world. WHO officially announced that the COVID-19 had become a global pandemic. During the pandemic, there were dearth of information regarding pregnant women with COVID-19 pneumonia and their infants. In this paper, we report a case of a COVID-19 pregnant woman with diabetes. The pregnant woman blood specimens were collected periodically during her stay in the isolation center for blood chemistry analysis, IL-6, MDA as well blood sugar measurements while receiving treatments, these parameters coupled with respiratory indices were evaluated to predict the disease severity. It is suggested that respiratory failure, hyperglycemia, cytokinemia and oxidative stress played significant role in the disease progression and may therefore can be used in predicting the clinical outcome of the COVID-19.
