Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to fetus or neonate: What to know and what to do?
Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine 2023 Februrary
SARS-CoV-2 can be vertically transmitted from the mother to the fetus and the neonate. This transmission route is rare compared to the environmental or horizontal spread and therefore, the risk can be deemed inconsequential by some medical providers. However, severe, although just as rare, feto-neonatal consequences are possible: fetal demise, severe/critical neonatal COVID-19 and multi-inflammatory syndrome (MIS-N) have been described. Therefore, it is important for the clinicians to know the mechanism of vertical transmission, how to recognize this, and how to deal with neonatal COVID-19 and MIS-N. Our knowledge about this field has significantly increased in the last three years. This is a summary of the pathophysiology, diagnostics, and therapeutics of vertical SARS-CoV-2 transmission that clinicians apply in their clinical practice.
