Obstetric patients have been a subject of considerable interest due to their potential vulnerability to more severe infection and adverse pregnancy outcomes, exemplified by this report of a 43-year-old pregnant female with severe COVID-19 infection and respiratory complications. This case report aims to contribute to the existing scientific knowledge by presenting a detailed clinical profile of a patient with COVID-19 who achieved pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and discussing the management and outcomes of the infection.

We studied the possible association of risk of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection and severe outcomes of disease with ABO blood groups and Rh factor in the Georgian population.
Materials And Methods: The effect of blood type on the severity of infection in COVID-19 positive patients admitted to the First University Clinic of Tbilisi State University (Tbilisi, Georgia) from December 2020 to September 2021 was analyzed retrospectively.
