As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, pregnant women have been increasingly affected worldwide. Women during the last trimester of pregnancy are susceptible to severe COVID-19, and there are many challenges towards its treatment. Monoclonal antibody treatment (MAT) is approved for COVID-19 patients to reduce disease severity. However, there are few reports on the MAT in perinatal women. Herein, we report a 39-year-old pregnant female (36 weeks and 6 days of gestation) with improvement in COVID-19 pneumonia after treatment with casiribimab/imdevimab, resulting in successful vaginal delivery (a 2.868 kg male newborn), along with a literature review. Early diagnosis and treatment of pregnant women with COVID-19 are important. Infectious diseases doctors and/or obstetricians should be aware of the MAT option administered to perinatal COVID-19 women to reduce disease severity.
随着 COVID-19 大流行的持续,全球越来越多的孕妇受到影响。妊娠晚期的女性易患重症 COVID-19,其治疗存在诸多挑战。单克隆抗体治疗 (MAT) 已获批用于 COVID-19 患者,以降低疾病严重程度。然而,围产期女性使用 MAT 的报道较少。本文报道了一例 39 岁孕妇(36 周+6 天),使用 casirivimab/imdevimab 治疗后 COVID-19 肺炎改善,成功经阴道分娩(男婴,体重 2.868kg),并进行了文献复习。早期诊断和治疗 COVID-19 孕妇非常重要。传染病医生和/或妇产科医生应了解 MAT 方案在围产期 COVID-19 女性中的应用,以降低疾病严重程度。
