HIV and SARS-CoV-2 Coinfection in Pregnancy: Case Report

Abstract

The ongoing outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been associated with worse outcomes in several populations, including those with co-morbidities. Pregnant women are one such group of individuals that may be at increased risk of infection related to physiologic changes in metabolic and maternal immune system changes in normal pregnancy. This risk may increase with underlying immunocompromised states such as in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, there is currently limited data on pregnant women with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and HIV. In this paper, a case of pregnant women infected with COVID-19 and HIV co-infection is reported.
