Pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection: A review.
In December, 2019, a series of patients presented with pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China. The clinical signs and symptoms were different from bacterial pneumonia and resembled viral infection. Gene sequencing analysis from respiratory tract samples of infected patients showed that a novel coronavirus is the causative agent of this infection. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses has designated the virus that causes the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as SARS-CoV-2.
