Concept
Case Study: Maternal Coronavirus Infections and Pregnancy Outcomes
- An Analysis of 38 Pregnant Women With COVID-19, Their Newborn Infants, and Maternal-Fetal Transmission of SARS-CoV-2
- Analyzed the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the mothers and infants, including clinical, laboratory, and virologic data, and the transmissibility of the virus from mother to fetus
- Analyzed the mother’s and the infant’s condition by case, such as the mother’s symptoms during pregnancy, use of medication and the child’s health condition, birth weight et. al.
- The presence of SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated in 6 of the 9 cases from amniotic fluid, breastmilk, umbilical cord blood, and neonatal throat swabs; all test results were negative.
- no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 undergoes intrauterine or transplacental transmission from infected pregnant women to their fetuses
