Abstract

Introduction: Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered corona virus. As pregnant women are placed in the vulnerable group for COVID-19, how to provide proper antenatal services is a big question. Access to routine antenatal care was affected more when government authorities came up with restrictions regarding social distancing, personal protective equipment, travel restrictions, quarantine policies etc. Restrictions along with fear of infection have further increased anxiety and obsessive compulsion symptoms among the pregnant women. The aim and objective was to study clinical profile of patients presented with medical disorders in COVID-19 positive pregnant women. Materials and Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Velammal Medical College, Madurai. Study reviewed the medical records of all pregnant patients who were admitted to obstetrics and gynaecology department with pre-existing medical disorders or those suspected with medical disorders on the basis of clinical and/or laboratory data from 1 March 2020 through 28 February 2021.
