Abstract
Data on pregnancy complicated by Zaire-strain Ebola virus disease (EVD) are scarce. Maternal mortality with EVD is usually around 90%, foetal/neonatal mortality of transplacental infection is 100%. Suspected/confirmed EVD in pregnancy poses practical and ethical challenges, and often causes anxiety in medical personnel due to risks around body fluids at delivery. In a retrospective analysis of routine programme data, we aimed to describe the pregnant EVD survivors, the EVD/pregnancy management protocol used during the 2014/2015 West Africa epidemic, and the foetal/neonatal outcome of transplacental EVD infection.
