Abstract
Whether 2019 novel coronavirus can be vertically transmitted to fetuses is a major concern, while how to obtain evidence of vertical transmission in viral infected pregnant women is the key. Virological and serological evidence is valuable to clarify this issue. However, longitudinal follow-up of infants for at least 3-6 months after birth and dynamic changes of specific antibodies of the mothers is essential when serological results are used to confirm or exclude vertical transmission.
Key words:
Coronavirus infections; Infectious disease transmission, vertical; Immunoglobulin M; Immunoglobulin G
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.
