Cover Story: SARS-CoV-2 infection during the early pregnancy stages could have unexpected consequences for the developing fetus. Here, we describe a case of second trimester miscarriage following mild maternal COVID-19 infection. Morphological and immunohistochemistry investigation of the placenta revealed various anomalies, including the presence of numerous immune cells, vascular changes, and presence of the viral nucleocapsid protein. The protein was also found in numerous fetal organs during the subsequent postmortem examination. These findings support the growing body of evidence of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The developmental implications of such infection in utero remain to be investigated in future studies. View this paper
