Subcapsular liver hematoma is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy. It is associated with preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. We present the case of a 36-year-old Caucasian nulliparous woman who was diagnosed at 29 weeks and 6 days of gestation with mild preeclampsia.

- In 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged in China, posing significant health risks, especially for pregnant women, leading to complications that can increase maternal and neonatal mortality.
- Research indicated potential maternal-fetal transmission of the virus and identified placental abnormalities, termed placentitis, which could disrupt placental functions and fetal heart rate monitoring.
- A study analyzed data from 17 mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infections; through this, clinicians discovered a high incidence of coagulopathy in mothers and noted that all fetuses were delivered through emergency cesarean sections, with one neonatal death recorded due to complications related to the infection.

The primary aim of this study was to compare the severity of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women depending on strain predominance between wild-type Alpha and Gamma variants. The secondary aim was to study the impact of these strains on obstetrical and neonatal outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a single-center prospective validation study in a level 3 maternity hospital. For all cord samples taken at birth, we analyzed lactates on the reference device (GEM4000®) and on two portable devices Lactate Scout and StatStrip Xpress.
