Abstract
This article evaluates the potential influence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnant women on the development of coronavirus disease 2019 in neonates and discusses the possibility of mother-to-child vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2. With reference to related articles published up to now and the information on official websites, a retrospective review was performed for the clinical manifestations and laboratory examination results of the neonates born to the mothers with infection during pregnancy during the epidemics of severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome and after the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection since December 2019. Based on the limited data, there is no conclusive evidence for mother-to-child vertical transmission of coronavirus disease 2019, and more cases need to be collected for further evaluation.
