A 900-gram preterm infant with Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection: A case report

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) causes acute respiratory syndrome, it became widespread in China at first in December 2019, and then was spread in other countries. Pregnant women are considered to be more susceptible to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) complications. We report a case of a neonate born with COVID-19, believed to be due to a vertical transmission from mother to her baby. The case also reports a preterm labour which may be related to COVID-19 infection during pregnancy.
