Abstract

Abstract Objectives The incidence of vertically transmitted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) could be higher than published. We feel that cases of SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission are under-reported. Case presentation We report a case of SARS-CoV-2 in premature monochorionic monoamniotic twins born by caesarean section to an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive mother. Conclusions This case supports the potential for intrauterine transmission of SARS-CoV-2 as previously reported. The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission from reported cases is low; however this may be due to the difficulty disproving horizontal transmission or under-reporting of cases.

无症状母亲对早产双胞胎的SARS-CoV-2传播

摘要目的垂直传播的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)的发病率可能高于公布的发病率。我们认为SARS-CoV-2垂直传播病例报告不足。我们报告一例无症状的SARS-CoV-2阳性母亲剖宫产的单绒毛膜单羊膜早产儿SARS-CoV-2病例。结论本病例支持先前报道的SARS-CoV-2宫内传播的可能性。报告病例中SARS-CoV-2垂直传播的发生率低;然而，这可能是由于难以反驳横向传播或病例报告不足。

期刊介绍： Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
