Abstract
Abstract Objectives This is the report of the first pregnant woman having COVID-19 in Vietnam. The patient was at 21 weeks of gestation and a high level of serum D-dimer and fibrinogen was observed from admission day to day 5. Case presentation The patient had lived in Russia before returning to Vietnam where she was diagnosed with COVID-19. Clinical characteristics of this patient were described and there was no major derangement of laboratory parameters. She was asymptomatic when being diagnosed and then developed mild symptoms of COVID-19 after three days of admission. The patient was treated with lopinavir/ritonavir, ampicillin/sulbactam, and Lovenox and continued being hospitalized until April 25th, 2020. Conclusions We presented the clinical picture of the first COVID-19 pregnant case in Vietnam. This case report highlighted the increased risk of developing coagulopathy even in mild and asymptomatic patients.
期刊介绍:
Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
