A Case Supporting Vertical Transmission of SARS CoV-2

Abstract

There is very limited evidence to support the possibility of vertical transmission from mother to baby, as there are fewer cases of COVID-19 in newborns and pregnant who are close to labor. In this case; we aimed to contribute to the literature about the possibility of vertical transmission by including our follow-ups of the COVID-19 PCR positive baby born to a COVID-19 PCR positive mother from birth to discharge.

SARS CoV- 2’ nin Dikey Geçişini Destekleyen Olgu

Abstract

Doğum dönemindeki gebelerde ve yenidoğanlarda daha az COVID-19 vakasıyla karşılaşıldığı için, anneden bebeğe dikey geçiş olasılığını destekleyecek oldukça kısıtlı sayıda kanıt bulunmaktadır. Olgumuzda COVID-19 PCR pozitif anneden doğan COVID-19 PCR pozitif bebeği doğumdan taburculuğuna kadarki takiplerimize yer vererek litarature dikey geçiş olasılığı hakkında katkı sağlamayı amaçladık.

Keywords

• COVID-19
• dikey geçiş
• yenidoğan
