Description

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease first diagnosed in December 2019. Regarding previous studies that indicated the potential association between preeclampsia (PE) and COVID-19, it is pertinent to assess these conditions’ clinical manifestations and laboratory findings comprehensively. We performed this narrative review, considering the importance of pregnancy and its maternal and fetal outcomes and the lack of a definite mechanism of COVID-19 in pregnant women with PE. It is noteworthy that both conditions may have overlapped characteristics that may affect the outcomes during pregnancy.
