Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, which was initially reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, had a rapid spread throughout the world becoming a new global crisis. Today, very little is known about neonatal COVID-19 infection. Herein, we tried to define the clinical and demographic characteristics, risk factors, and laboratory and imagining findings of neonates who tested positive for COVID-19 and were admitted to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) of Ali Ibn Abi Taleb Hospital, Zahedan, Iran, from June 2021 to July 2021. All full-term and premature neonates diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in the study. Their ages ranged from 1 to 21 days at admission, including 6 boys and 4 girls. The medical records of mother-baby dyads were reviewed. All mothers, except for one, were negative for COVID-19 infection. The most frequent findings in the neonates were fever, poor feeding, respiratory distress, cough, hypoxemia, and drooling. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were administered as routine. All neonates, except for one, needed respiratory support, and intratracheal surfactant was administered for three newborns. Three neonates with severe disorders died during the study period.
2019年12月在中国武汉首次报告的新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)感染在全球迅速蔓延,成为新的全球危机。目前,人们对新生儿COVID-19感染知之甚少。在此,我们试图确定2021年6月至2021年7月在伊朗扎黑丹Ali Ibn Abi Taleb医院NICU(新生儿重症监护病房)检测出COVID-19阳性的新生儿的临床和人口学特征、危险因素、实验室和影像学检查结果。所有诊断为COVID-19的足月新生儿和早产儿均纳入研究。入院时年龄1 ~ 21天,男6例,女4例。回顾了母子二代的医疗记录。除了一位母亲外,所有母亲的COVID-19感染均为阴性。新生儿最常见的表现为发热、喂养不良、呼吸窘迫、咳嗽、低氧血症和流口水。常规给予广谱抗生素。除1名新生儿外,所有新生儿均需要呼吸支持,3名新生儿给予气管内表面活性剂。研究期间有3名患有严重疾病的新生儿死亡。
