Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemics is a novel viral infection.The disease was not found as directly related with adverse pregnancy outcomes;however,the incidence of fetal distress has shown to be increased in pregnancies with COVID-19.This case series aimed to present fetal tachycardia cases with accompanying asymptomatic COVID-19.This study reported three women with term pregnancies applied for routine pregnancy follow-up were detected to develop fetal distress at the basis of fetal tachycardia and delivered through emergency C-section.None of them had any chronic disease or the history of close contact.The complete blood count and blood serum analyses were normal.All patients were diagnosed to have asymptomatic COVID-19,of which one neonate was positive for COVID-19. COVID-19 should be considered in fetal tachycardia cases, even in the absence of disease symptoms.Fetal distress is an obstetric emergency;therefore,the potential threats of COVID-19 should be kept in mind to be able to cope with possible adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
