Abstract

There is a lack of information about the maternal-fetal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes and concomitant COVID-19; and there is even less information about the outcomes of pregnant women with gestational diabetes and COVID-19. We present a case of a primigravidae of 20-year-old woman with gestational diabetes and COVID-19 and a review of the literature.
