“…A patient with Leukopenia in the NP-COVID19 group was recorded (3.0 x 10 3 μL), and one patient with leukocytosis was also detected (15.6 x 10 3 μL). For white cell count in pregnancy we take a reference range(32), and none of the P-COVID19 patients showed leukocytosis. Neutrophilia was detected in one of the P-COVID19 patients, and none lymphopenia or monocytopenia was detected.Figure 1shown the Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio, non-COVID19 group show a 2.3±0.2 mean and SD, while NP-COVID19 and P-COVID19 groups shown 16.7±18.1 and 5.9±3.9 respectively.…”

On January 30th, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID19, a disease due to the new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Certain comorbidities, symptoms and signs are characteristic of COVID19 in the general population and in pregnant women. However, pregnant women are considered as a high-risk group for COVID19. To know about the frequency of comorbidities, signs and symptoms, the presence of lymphopenia, antibodies response to SARS-CoV2 and cytokine and chemokine serum concentration, six pregnant women with COVID19 were studied at the moment of admission. The lower concentration of CCL17 was detected in the Pregnant COVID19 group, similar concentration of IL-6 was also detected in non-pregnant and pregnant COVID19 patients. Our result show that pregnant and non-pregnant women with COVID19 has similar cytokine profile.

“…The maternal WBC rises significantly following vaginal delivery, with mean levels of 15.3 × 10 9 /l, and levels as high as 37.3 × 10 9 /l reported in healthy pregnancy. 17 In this case the administration of adrenaline may have contributed to neutrophil leucocytosis, as WBC rises within 5 min of adrenaline therapy. The rise in WBC following hydrocortisone is usually delayed by at least 1 h.…”

Abrupt deterioration in the mother’s condition may occur postpartum as a result of a broad array of conditions, many of them rare. Maternal survival depends on aggressive resuscitation, rapid precise diagnosis and the institution of disease-targeted therapy. Additionally there may be implications for any future pregnancy. A case of sudden maternal collapse postpartum is presented, the differential diagnosis is discussed, and the management plan and outcome for a subsequent pregnancy reviewed.

“… 1 Understanding these changes as well as improving prevention, early‐diagnosis and care for women during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, requires increased efforts to generate data and large reference samples. While reference values for maternal health are established to avoid unnecessary interventions, 2 , 3 very few studies focus on blood cell count changes from conception to childbirth. Physiological changes, including haematological changes, that may be perceived as pathological outside of pregnancy are poorly understood as the participation of pregnant women is extremely limited in clinical trials 4 , 5 , 6 and large‐scale cohort data are lacking.…”

Background About 800 women die every day worldwide from pregnancy‐related complications, including excessive blood loss, infections and high‐blood pressure (World Health Organization, 2019). To improve screening for high‐risk pregnancies, we set out to identify patterns of maternal hematological changes associated with future pregnancy complications. Methods Using mixed effects models, we established changes in 14 complete blood count (CBC) parameters for 1710 healthy pregnancies and compared them to measurements from 98 pregnancy‐induced hypertension, 106 gestational diabetes and 339 postpartum hemorrhage cases. Results Results show interindividual variations, but good individual repeatability in CBC values during physiological pregnancies, allowing the identification of specific alterations in women with obstetric complications. For example, in women with uncomplicated pregnancies, haemoglobin count decreases of 0.12 g/L (95% CI −0.16, −0.09) significantly per gestation week (p value <.001). Interestingly, this decrease is three times more pronounced in women who will develop pregnancy‐induced hypertension, with an additional decrease of 0.39 g/L (95% CI −0.51, −0.26). We also confirm that obstetric complications and white CBC predict the likelihood of giving birth earlier during pregnancy. Conclusion We provide a comprehensive description of the associations between haematological changes through pregnancy and three major obstetric complications to support strategies for prevention, early‐diagnosis and maternal care.
