Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a viral respiratory disease. Most people infected with MERS-CoV develop severe acute respiratory illness. It was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and has since spread to several other countries. We report the clinical course of MERS-CoV infection in a pregnant woman who acquired the infection during the last trimester.
The patient is a 33-year-old female working as a critical care nurse. She was 32 weeks pregnant when she presented with respiratory symptoms after direct contact with a MERS-COV patient. Although the patient was in respiratory failure, necessitated mechanical ventilation, and intensive care (ICU) admission, a healthy infant was delivered. The mother recovered. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a laboratory-confirmed Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus in a pregnant woman.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) known to cause severe acute respiratory illness associated with a high risk of mortality Various factors may have contributed to the successful outcome of this patient such as young age, presentation during the last stages of pregnancy, and possible differences in immune response.
中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）是一种病毒性呼吸道疾病。大多数感染MERS-CoV的人会发展为严重的急性呼吸道疾病。它于2012年在沙特阿拉伯首次报告，此后已传播到其他几个国家。我们报告了一名在妊娠晚期感染MERS-CoV的孕妇的临床病程。
患者是一名33岁的女性，职业为重症监护护士。她在与一名MERS-COV患者直接接触后出现呼吸道症状时，已怀孕32周。尽管患者出现呼吸衰竭，需要机械通气并入住重症监护病房（ICU），但仍产下一名健康婴儿。母亲康复。据我们所知，这是首例报告的实验室确诊的孕妇感染中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒病例。
已知中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）会导致严重的急性呼吸道疾病，并伴有高死亡率。多种因素可能促成了该患者的成功结局，如年轻、在妊娠后期发病以及免疫反应可能存在的差异。
