Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to premature twins from an asymptomatic mother
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.
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.
