Clinical and laboratory findings of infection in confirmed and
probable Covid-19 infected pregnant women
Thirty four women in confirmed and probable groups were delivered and 15
women continued their pregnancy by the end of study. As illustrated in
Table 1, fever (53.06%, 95%CI:39.08, 67.03) was the most frequently
observed symptom, followed by dry cough (46.93%, 95% CI:32.96, 60.91),
dyspnea (48.97%, 95% CI: 34.98, 62.97) and myalgia (25.80%, 95%
CI:11.85, 44.61). A total of six (12.24%, 95% CI: 4.62, 24.76)
patients had decreased oxygen saturation. The most frequent abnormality
in laboratory tests included: Raised CRP (63.26%, 95% CI: 49.76,
76.76), leukocytosis (white blood cell count
>11×109/L) (44.89%, 95% CI: 30.97,
58.82), and lymphopenia (32.65%, 95% CI: 19.52, 45.78). There was no
difference between confirmed and probable cases in terms of CRP (p=
0.227),leukocytosis (p= 0.354), and lymphopenia(p= 0.416) an as well as
other clinical and paraclinical findings(Table 1) . Two patients
(4.08%, 95% CI: 0.41, 13.97)were admitted to intensive care unit none
of which required intubation and invasive ventilation.
