1 INTRODUCTION

Since December 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) infection has spread quickly from China to different parts of the world including Iran.¹ Since February 18, 2020, over 12 000 confirmed cases of COVID‐19 have been reported in Iran, and more than 150 000 cases in numerous other countries worldwide, with an around 3% to 4% mortality rate as up to March 15. One of the most important ways of viral transmission is the individuals' contact in hospitals, inside families, and other crowded places, but still no finding is reported on the optimal treatment modalities or vaccines.^1-3

What's already known about this topic?

Vertical transmission due to intrauterine infection has not been reported in pregnant women who develop COVID‐19 pneumonia in late pregnancy.

What does this study add?

Amniotic fluid and infant PCR test was positive for COVID‐19 infection.
This case study raises concerns again about the possible vertical transmission of COVID‐19 in pregnant women infected by SARS‐CoV‐2, especially in critical case that undergoes pregnancy termination.
