Abstract COVID-19 infection in newborn is uncommon, and there is doubt regarding vertical transmission of COVID-19 from an infected mother. We report a preterm neonate born to a mother with HELLP syndrome and COVID-19 pneumonia, who was COVID-19 positive (RT-PCR of tracheal aspirate) at 12 hours of age.

Abstract Background: COVID-19 has been recently declared by WHO a global health pandemic. Theoretically, it might affect all age groups but it is not known if vertical transmission during pregnancy occurs. We hereby report a case about the first Jordanian newborn delivered to COVID-19 infected mother. Case presentation: A late preterm female was delivered by Cesarean section to COVID-19 mother who was diagnosed after presenting with a dry cough, nasal congestion, headache, and sore throat in the context of direct contact with other confirmed patients. The infant’s clinical examination was reassuring throughout the hospital stay. COVID-19 was not detected by RT-PCR tests performed on the amniotic fluid and on two samples of the newborn’s nasopharyngeal swabs indicating no vertical transmission of the virus. After 10 days of hospital stay and following two negative consecutive RT-PCR assays on the mother’s nasopharyngeal swabs, both the mother and the infant were discharged home in stable clinical conditions. Conclusion: Vertical transmission is not likely among the routes of COVID-19 transmission. However, data about more number of deliveries to COVID-19 infected mothers is needed to support this conclusion.

Abstract Little is known about the effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on pregnant mothers and their infants. Moreover, there is no definitive evidence that SARS CoV- 2 can be vertically transmitted from an infected mother to the unborn fetus.

Health Implications

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has serious health implications. The potential risk to pregnant women and neonates must be explored. Controversy exists regarding whether Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can be transmitted vertically via antenatal or intrapartum transmission from an infected mother to her child. Emerging case reports and cohort studies suggest that vertical transmission is likely. However, the data is limited and contradictory, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. The continued collection and analysis of data on pregnant women and neonates is necessary.

Obstetrical Care

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic will continue affecting pregnant women with possibility of vertical transmissions. However, knowledge and evidences regarding vertical transmission of COVID-19 are just emerging. This information is very crucial in the obstetrical care of COVID-19 infected women as well as in the care of newborn born to COVID-19 positive mothers. We report a case of vertical transmission in a neonate born to asymptomatic COVID-19 infected mother. Newborn was immediately shifted to isolation nursery and formula feed was started. The nasopharyngeal swab of newborn taken at 42 hours of life tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Therefore the vertical transmission in COVID-19 is possible. Despite this, the neonatal outcome is good. Keywords: Duodenal atresia; flip flop circulation; neonates; persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn

Background: Limited details are available regarding the vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women. The authors' current study aimed to report the vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in a woman pregnant with twins. Case description: The authors report the case of a 27-year-old woman infected with SARS-CoV-2. The patient was pregnant with dichorionic diamniotic fraternal twins and admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China. After undergoing a cesarean section, the patient gave birth to premature twins, who tested positive for COVID-19 infection. Interpretation: Findings from this case suggest a possibility of intrauterine infection caused by vertical transmission in a woman infected with COVID-19.

AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently in worldwide pandemic state with very limited data about the mode of transmission to the growing fetus. There are a few published cases of COVID-19 infection in the infants born to COVID-19 positive mothers where most of the reported cases were either mildly symptomatic with positive COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or had negative COVID-19 PCR raising the question of vertical transmission. We present a case of likely intrauterine transmission of COVID-19 infection in a critically ill premature infant born to a COVID-19 infected mother and describing her clinical course thus far. The clinical presentation in the infant is consistent with COVID-19 infection described so far in literature along with positive PCR, and positive COVID-19 serology: immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, and immunoglobulin A.
