What's new on the management of obstetric patients who tested positive for Covid-19?
To date, there is still partial data on the effects of COVID-19 on pregnant women. The constant collection of information results in a continuous updating of the knowledge about the best management of pregnant patients affected by COVID-19. This work aimed to summarize the state of the art on prevention and management of SARS-CoV-2 infection in obstetric patients. ⋯ Nevertheless, various drugs have been used to treat this disease in pregnancy, although the data at our disposal are still few. As regards mRNA vaccines, it seems that their immunogenicity, safety and tolerability in pregnant women are comparable to those of non-pregnant women of the same age. More studies are certainly needed in infected pregnant women to establish treatment and prevention protocols for this special category of patients.
