📖 Effects of SARS-CoV-2 on prenatal lung growth assessed by fetal MRI

Stoecklein et al / The Lancet: Respiratory Medicine • 10 April 2022

The effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy on fetal lung development have been largely understudied throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.


To our knowledge, this is the first study showing reduced fetal lung volume in otherwise healthy pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection.


This reduction was dependent on the timepoint of infection, indicating that the most significant results occurred in the third trimester.
