Abstract :
Pregnant women appear to be more severely affected by COVID-19. Coagulopathy is known as one of the most challenging effects of COVID-19, and the effects of acute airway diseases resulting from the coronavirus on pregnant mothers and their fetuses can be dangerous. Two women who were pregnant suffering from coagulopathy (one of them with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and the other one with hypercoagulation) and COVID-19 infection are reported in this study. During hospitalization due to severe vaginal bleeding and placental
detachment, cesarean section was performed on the first case and because of acute
severe DIC, she received a massive transfusion. The second patient presented with
epigastric pain and tachycardia and positive D-dimer, which was eventually treated
with a diagnosis of bilateral lower extremities DVT. COVID-19 might have a variety
of effects on pregnancy outcome, from vascular and placental involvement to
respiratory involvement; there is an association between the coronavirus and hypercoagulopathy
state and coagulopathy like DIC.
