Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection during pregnancy: Report of two cases & review of the literature
Open accessAbstract
The first patient was a 29-year-old female (gravida 2, para 1) at 6 weeks gestation and with no underlying medical conditions. She was asymptomatic and identified as part of the contact tracing of her mother, a positive MERS-CoV patient. On examination, she was afebrile, breathing normally and Lungs were clear to auscultation. The abdomen was gravid, soft, non-tender, non-distended, and normal bowel sounds. Nasopharyngeal swab testing by RT-PCR for MERS-CoV showed a positive result for ORF (Ct value 32). She had two repeated nasopharyngeal swab testing by RTPCR for MERS-CoV and these showed probable results (Ct value 36) and the 4th swab was negative by PCR for MERSCoV. The patient did not deliver during hospitalization and she was discharged on 24th August 2015, and subsequently delivered a healthy infant at term.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
