Abstract: | Several studies have reported that pregnant women are more susceptible to contracting the SARS-CoV-2 disease. However, SARS-CoV-2 infection studies have limited evidence regarding its impact on pregnancy, particularly its pathological effects on the maternal efetal interface. This review emphasized the placental structures and immunomodulatory defense mechanism against the viral infection COVID and highlighted the spectrum of reported histopathological changes from SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers’ placenta to contribute to the knowledge of the nature of this placental pathology. Further studies where collaborations that seek to maximize sample numbers analyzed can be performed to improve the generalizability and reliability of the findings. This can lead to improved knowledge on the relationship between placental dysfunction and pathology from maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Consequently, this can help improve maternity care delivery during the pandemic. |
