COVID‐19 and maternal pre‐eclampsia; a synopsis	2020-06-15		.txt	text/plain	749	60	50	In March 2020, the World health organization reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) as a pandemic.(1) Khan et al., 2020, in their systemic review about positive COVID‐19 pregnant women, showed a rate of 29.1% preterm birth and 16.4% low birth weight among their babies.(2) This increases the interest that hyper‐inflammatory state in COVID‐19 may be associated with hypoxic injury in the placenta and developing pre‐eclamptic state. 1 Khan et al., 2020, in their systemic review about positive COVID-19 pregnant women, showed a rate of 29.1% preterm birth and 16.4% low birth weight among their babies. Possible COVID-19 intrauterine infection may alter the expression of ACE2 and develop pre-eclamptic state via raised Angiotensin II level in the placental villi leading to vasoconstriction and restricted fetal blood flow. 7 Systematic review about maternal serum cytokines in pre-eclampsia revealed significant increase of maternal IL-6, IL-10 and TNFα compared with normotensive pregnant women. Further studies are recommended to show the association between COVID-19 and development of pre-eclampsia.	./cache/cord-307207-xfu5d7dt.txt	./txt/cord-307207-xfu5d7dt.txt
