A lot of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related deaths of fetuses in pregnancy were reported in Yemen about what risk factors contributing to this excess death? . The aim of this case report is to explore more data about COVID-19 in pregnancy related death of fetus in Hodeidah, Yemen. The case reported here shows a 36 ‐year‐old female pregnant in second semester , cough, hypoxia, fever 38°C, difficult in breathing, and bleeding from nose as major of symptoms with oxygen saturation (O2) of 63%, 30 ipm of respiratory rate (RR), 120/80 mmHg of blood pressure, and 140 bpm of heart rate (HR). The patient was diagnosed with bilateral asymmetrical consolidative change with ground glass opacification based X–ray, the leukocytosis, lymphopenia and neutrophilia were reported. The level of random blood sugar (RBS) was normal, increase in liver enzymes was observed. Mild increase in serum creatinine with C – reactive protein (CRP) was high reactivity with positive COVID-19. The pharmacological and therapeutic care were carried out according to national guideline. The fetus in pregnancy passed away (death) within ten days. The COVID-19 in pregnancy is of high concern for fetus and this is the first reported case of COVID-19 presented as highlights the complex context of management.
