Full description

COVID-19 infected pregnant women is thought to have variable degrees of inflammatory response against the disease. Fetus is known to be influenced by maternal systemic infections. Thymus size of fetus and the neonate, is proven to be changed by primarily inflammatory/infectious diseases.
