Abstract

Data about the sequelae of women who infected COVID-19 while pregnant are scarce. We aimed to describe the prevalence of symptoms, pulmonary functions and radiological changes at a follow-up of 12 months in 18 pregnant women who developed COVID-19 at different gestational ages. Our results showed that most women who infected COVID-19 while pregnant experienced a progressive improvement of their symptoms within 12 months, however, some still had a little COVID-related symptoms but without a reduced quality of life. All their 18 newborns were growing up healthy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
