Pregnant COVID-19 patients are at increased risk of experiencing complications and severe outcomes compared to the general population. However, the reasons for this heightened risk are still unclear. We measured the proteins present in the blood of pregnant and non-pregnant patients with COVID-19 and compared these to healthy individuals. We found that some COVID-19-associated proteins were present at lower levels in pregnant women, which could help to protect the fetus from harmful inflammation, the body's natural response to infection. While some proteins affected by COVID-19 are shared between pregnant and non-pregnant patients, others were distinctly affected only in pregnant women, providing a potential explanation for the more severe outcomes in this group.
