Abstract
A central concern for the safe provision of ART during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (CODIV-19) pandemic is the possibility of vertical transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection through gametes and preimplantation embryos. Unfortunately, data on SARS-CoV-2 viral presence in oocytes of infected individuals are not available to date. We describe the case of two women who underwent controlled ovarian stimulation and tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 infection by PCR on the day of oocyte collection. The viral RNA for gene N was undetectable in all the oocytes analyzed from the two women.
Keywords: COVID-19; ICSI; IVF; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus; oocyte; ovarian stimulation.
