Background: Pregnant women are at an increased risk for severe illness and complications associated with pandemic (H1N1) 2009. This study was conducted to identify the severity of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in pregnant Korean women.
Materials and Methods : The demographic and clinical data from pregnant women with laboratory confi rmed pandemic (H1N1) 2009 during September to December 2009 were retrospectively collected from 8 hospitals in Korea.
Results: A total of 150 pregnant women with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 were identified. The median age was 30 years (range: 22-39 years), and the median gestational age (n=114) was 20 weeks (range: 1-39 weeks). All but one patient with secondary bacterial pneumonia had influenza without complication. Although 12 pregnant women needed hospitalization, there were no patients who needed
admission to the intensive care unit or who died. Only one hospitalized patient had elective cesarean section because of oligohydamnios. No maternal or fetal complications directly related to the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 were identified among the 67 pregnant women who were followed up for 1 to 185 days after their infl uenza illness, including 6 women who delivered during the study period.
Conclusions : In contrast with the reports from Western countries, pandemic (H1N1) 2009 among pregnant Korean women was mild.
