So far, little is known about the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on pregnancy and data is often inconsistent. Even less information has been published on the management of severe courses of COVID-19 in pregnant women. By writing this article, we aim to share our experience in the treatment of pregnant woman critically ill with COVID-19 and newborn's condition, FNAIT (Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia), as well as literature review of this disease. After admission,the woman's respiratory status rapidly worsened, requiring administration of oxygen and in the end ECMO therapy. At the 9th day of ECMO support, and 28 weeks 3 days of gestation, due to mother's prognosis and increased feto-placental vascular resistance a decision of Caesarean section was taken. The neonate required intensive care not only due to extreme prematurity but coagulation disorder, alloimmune thrombocytopenia, which we diagnosed a few weeks after delivery.
