Abstract

This is a descriptive study of pregnant patients who received nirmatrelvir-ritonavir therapy from April 16, 2022, through May 18, 2022. Patients were eligible to receive nirmatrelvir-ritonavir if they were diagnosed with mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with symptom onset within 5 days, did not require oxygen therapy or hospital admission, and had no contraindications to nirmatrelvir-ritonavir. During the study time frame, 11 patients were identified as candidates for nirmatrelvir-ritonavir treatment. All patients agreed to nirmatrelvir-ritonavir treatment after a telehealth consultation; seven patients completed the treatment. All patients who received nirmatrelvir-ritonavir experienced symptom resolution without the need for additional care. All but one patient tolerated nirmatrelvir-ritonavir without immediate adverse effects, and no adverse fetal or neonatal effects were observed.
