Clinical and epidemiological aspects of the covid-19 coronavirus infection in pregnant women
Abstract
The coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus remains one of the most significant global healthcare challenges [1-10]. COVID-19 has affected all aspects of modern society, from economic consequences to profound changes in healthcare systems and social structures. The relevance of studying the coronavirus infection is based on several important reasons. First, COVID-19 is characterized by its high transmission rate, leading to large outbreaks, which necessitates a detailed study of transmission methods and control measures. It should be noted that coronavirus infection affects various systems of the body, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems. Second, the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 range from asymptomatic cases to severe forms with fatal outcomes, making it essential to thoroughly investigate both the pathogenesis and risk factors.
