Several studies on COVID-19 have been published reflecting its high incidence, transmissibility, morbidity and mortality, with great repercussions and severity in population groups at risk. Pregnancy does not escape from this, and the physiological immunosuppression that occurs in this condition makes the pregnant woman and the newborn more susceptible to infectious diseases. The objective of this communication is to deepen the pathophysiology and the repercussion of the COVID-19 disease in pregnant women and the newborn in order to improve knowledge related to the subject, which will have an impact on better management of these patients. For this, a review of research published between January and December 2021 was carried out in the databases such as SciELO, SCOPUS, Medline, Dialnet, Cumed and Lilacs. A number of 33 articles met the inclusion criteria from 44 initially obtained.

Keywords : COVID-19; pregnancy; risk; immune tolerance; neonate.
