There are few cases of pregnant women with COVID-19 described in the literature, most of which are described as mild forms of the disease. Evidence and information about infection in utero and early positive neonatal testing are limited. Pregnant patient, 26 years old, without comorbidities, was admitted to the unit with malaise, fever, cough and progressive dyspnea for three days. She was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after evolution to respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation on the tenth day of the disease onset. The patient underwent a cesarean delivery and neonatal isolation was performed immediately after birth without delayed umbilical cord clamping or skin to skin contact between mother and baby. We report a severe presentation of COVID-19 during pregnancy, with subsequent evolution to maternal death due to complications of the disease.
