SARS-CoV-2 impact on pregnant women is not well known yet. Some authors demonstrated that lung ultrasound can give similar results if compared to chest computed tomography and better results if compared to chest x-rays without radiations and limited risks for mother and fetus.
The Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) can be used to asses the entity and monitor the evolution of lung impairment.
Some authors described an artifact, the "light beam", as a typical ultrasound sign in COVID-19 positive patients.
With our study we hypothesize to understand the prevalence of this sign and other ultrasound signs in pregnant COVID-19 positive patients.
