I read with great interest the findings presented by Patberg and colleagues. 1 Their 17 findings of higher rate of villitis of unknown etiology and fetal vascular disruption in the 18 placental tissues taken from term deliveries of pregnant women with COVID-19 make it 19 reasonable to assume pathological changes in the fetal-maternal interface and endometrium, and 20 their potential implication in decidualization, placentation, and trophoblast invasion if pregnant 21 women had COVID-19 just before pregnancy or during first trimester.
