Abstract

During the COVID-19 epidemic, there have been many misconceptions concerning vertical transmission between the mother and fetus/baby, which has caused much discussion and controversy. However, there is no strong evidence to indicate that this novel coronavirus could be vertically transmitted from infected mothers to their fetuses/infants. Several easily confused concepts are clarified in this paper, including vertical transmission, intrauterine transmission, mother-to-infant transmission, intrapartum or postpartum transmission. Well-designed protocols and a disciplined research team are essential for both basic and clinical research, in order to contribute to obtaining more scientific evidence for better understanding of the characteristics of this novel coronavirus. Proper handling and disposal of the body fluids and tissue are critical for safety. We highlight the significant value of relevant research, and suggest future research directions, such as investigating the impact of COVID-19 in different trimesters. Furthermore, China has the most experience of treating pregnant women exposed to the COVID-19 virus, and it would be a great service to the rest of the world, for all centers in China to collaborate to report this collective experience.

如何获取病毒感染孕妇垂直传播的证据:对COVID-19疫情的反思/中国化

在新冠肺炎疫情期间，关于母婴垂直传播存在诸多误解，引发了诸多讨论和争议。然而，没有强有力的证据表明这种新型冠状病毒可以从受感染的母亲垂直传播给胎儿/婴儿。本文澄清了几个容易混淆的概念，包括垂直传播、宫内传播、母婴传播、产时传播或产后传播。精心设计的方案和纪律严明的研究团队，对于基础研究和临床研究都至关重要，有助于获得更多科学证据，更好地了解这种新型冠状病毒的特征。妥善处理和处置体液和组织对安全至关重要。我们强调相关研究的重要价值，并建议未来的研究方向，如研究新冠病毒在不同妊娠期的影响。此外，中国在治疗暴露于COVID-19病毒的孕妇方面拥有最多的经验，如果中国的所有中心都能合作报告这一集体经验，这将是对世界其他地区的巨大服务。关键词:妊娠并发症;传染性;冠状病毒感染;COVID-19;传染病垂直传播

期刊介绍： Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
