Abstract
The current study was a prospective cohort study carried out in a tertiary Maternity hospital. Three hundred women with prior CD and scheduled for elective repeat CD were included. Preoperative evaluation of the cesarean skin scar characteristics was performed including scar appearance, pigmentation, length and width. During repeat CD, intra-abdominal adhesions were evaluated and classified according to the Nair's scoring system.
Highlights
The ongoing corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health emergency
Since the COVID-19 is most probably not transmitted to the growing embryo, and our aim in this review is to find an explanation of the possible cause of this potential risk
Several studies agreed that COVID-19 patients had profound immune dysregulation including marked reduction in the level of lymphocytes, especially natural killer (NK) cells, which is clearly manifest in severe cases [6,7,8,9,10]
Summary
The ongoing corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health emergency. It is well established that pregnant women are more harshly affected by some viral infections [3]. The immunological influences play a pivotal role in embryonic development, and implantation [4]. Endometrial receptiveness is linked to multiple immunological factors including cytokines [5].
