Case Report: Placental Maternal Vascular Malperfusion Affecting Late Fetal Development and Multiorgan Infection Caused by SARS-CoV-2 in Patient With PAI-1 4G/5G Polymorphism.

Pregnant women are susceptible to the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and the consequences for the fetus are still uncertain. Here, we present a case of a pregnant woman with subclinical hypothyroidism and a plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G polymorphism who was infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, with unexpected evolution of death of the newborn 4 days postpartum. Nested PCR was performed to detect the virus, followed by ssDNA sequencing.
