Maternal Death Due to Late COVID-19 Diagnosis in Moyamba District Sierra Leone, 2021, Case Report
Little information exists on maternal deaths related to COVID-19 disease. We investigated maternal death due to COVID-19 infection and identify risk factors in Sierra Leone, 2021. We collected demographic and clinical data, reviewed medical records, and COVID-19 vaccination status. The decedent was nurse, 34-years-old, pregnant, 20 weeks gestation, and working at the district hospital. The pregnant woman died on June 26, 2021 with positive COVID-19 result. Deceased took one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Delay to diagnosis COVID-19 infection caused death of the pregnant women. We recommended prioritizing COVID 19 testing for pregnant women particularly health care workers.
