Due to symptoms suggestive of coronavirus infection and the risk of preterm birth, the mother was transferred from a hospital in Budapest to Semmelweis University\u2019s Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, which is an institution designated to treat coronavirus patients in their field. A PCR test was immediately performed on the patient upon her arrival at the university. As she tested positive for coronavirus she was treated in isolation. Due to breech position of the fetus the baby was born by caesarean section after preterm labour. The operation was undisturbed and it was carried out in accordance with the rules promoting the maximal exclusion of viral infection. In Hungary, it was the first occasion to perform caesarean section on a mother infected with COVID-19. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mother and baby are in satisfactory condition, the PCR test performed on the newborn was negative.<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e1lma Dobozi<br \/>\nFeatured image (illustration): Attila Kov\u00e1cs \u2013 Semmelweis University<br \/>\nTranslation: \u00c1gnes Raubinek<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first caesarean section performed on woman with COVID-19 infection performed at Semmelweis University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":362,"featured_media":21608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129,2],"tags":[127],"class_list":["post-21607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-news","tag-coronavirus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/362"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21609,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21607\/revisions\/21609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
