Does Sars-Cov-2 Virus Igg in Follicular Fluid Affect Oocytes and Embryos Quality in Assisted Reproductive Techniques?

Abstract

Background: This study try to shed a light on long term consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection through it IgG level in follicular fluid on oocytes and embryo quality in ICSI procedure.

Material and methods: This is a cohort analytic study in comprising 54 infertile women attending our institute for ICSI procedure. Oocytes and embryo quality parameters are stated. Follicular fluid SARS-CoV-2 IgG measured and patient classified in low (<0.6), medium (0.6-1) and high (>1) levels.Results: There are no significant differences between groups in maturation rate, fertilization index, number of oocytes is, number of germinal vesicles, number of M I, number of M II, and number of abnormal oocytes, grade I embryo and number of embryo transfer (p value is 0.85, 0.68, 0.99, 0.12, 0.426, 0.85, 0.77 &0.77 &0.88 respectively).

Conclusion: This study figures out that SARS-CoV-2 infection have no long-term consequences on embryo and oocytes quality in ICSI procedure.
