ABSTRACT

During previous seasonal influenza epidemics and pandemics, a higher morbidity and mortality has been shown in pregnant women when compared to those who were not pregnant. Worldwide, an up to seven fold increase in the number of maternal deaths has been registered during the Influenza pandemic caused by the virus A (H1N1). We present three cases of infection by human Influenza A (H1N1) in pregnant women treated in ICU the Oaxaca Regional Specialist Hospital with the object of sharing our experience and helping to avoid the delay in medical attention offered to this type of patients.
