Somatic status of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2-associated pneumonias

Aim. To evaluate somatic status of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2-associated pneumonia and its influence on the severity of the course of viral pneumonia Material and methods. In this study, 70 pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2-associated pneumonia underwent clinical and laboratory examinations, PCR verification of SARS-CoV-2, chest x-ray in two projections, or computed tomography. Results and discussion . I In the group of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2-associated pneumonia, urinary tract pathology was detected in 50 patients (71.4%). This is five times higher than the frequency observed in the control group, where 5 pregnant women were diagnosed with urinary tract disease (14.3%; p < 0.001). Furthermore, iron deficiency anemia of varying degrees was observed in 52 pregnant women (74.3%), which was significantly higher than in controls, where it occurred in only 6 patients (17.1%; p<0.001). Cardiovascular diseases were observed in 8 pregnant women (11.4%) of the main group, while respiratory pathologies and allergies were rarely observed - only in 2 patients (2.9%). Conclusion. Urinary system pathology and iron deficiency anemia were common comorbid conditions in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2-associated pneumonia.
