Abstract
The current pandemic caused by the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been a relevant event; we have seen how it spreads rapidly and has an increased risk of becoming severe if the patient has any comorbidity. It is essential to consider that although COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, it can have systemic effects that can trigger various complications. This study is focused on how a COVID-19 infection can present symptoms similar to preeclampsia.
