Abstract
Although the route of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is mainly respiratory, vertical transmission seems possible [1]. We report the case of a woman with a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy admitted to Hospital Cl?nico Universitario Lozano Blesa at 38[SUP]+4[/SUP] weeks of gestation due to severe pre-eclampsia in the context of a SARS-CoV-2 infection (positive nasopharyngeal PCR; Viasure, CerTest Biotec, Zaragoza, Spain) with a probable transplacental transmission of the virus to both twins.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; multiple pregnancy; pre-eclampsia; twin pregnancy; vertical transmission.
