Preeclampsia-Like Syndrome in COVID-19– Deceptive Clinical Scenarios

Background: COVID-19 and preeclampsia both are multisystemic diseases and both can have presentation as hypertension, proteinuria, and hepatic and renal dysfunction. Thus, creating deceptive clinical scenarios for diagnosis as well as management. Cases: We report two cases of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women with secondary features of proteinuria, and significant hepatic dysfunction and hypertension. Despite presentation as severe preeclampsia, conservative management was adopted in view of consideration of Preeclampsia-like syndrome with COVID-19. Both pregnancies continued till term and gave birth to healthy babies. Conclusion: In pregnancies complicated with COVID-19 infection, it is very important to consider the entity of preeclampsia-like syndrome as it can change the management drastically and has implications for both the mother and the baby.
