COVID-19, implications for the newborn. Literature review

Copyright: © 2020 Revista Medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social..

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, which was unknown until in December 2019, when the outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, was reported. Since different age groups are susceptible to this infection, including newborns, the objective of this article is to review scientific literature published in English language and available in PubMed database until April 21, 2020, related to epidemiological and clinical aspects in newborns with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the recommendations for their management. In general, symptoms in newborns are milder (may even be asymptomatic) and compared to adults, their prognosis is more favorable. However special precautions are required to reduce the potential mother-to-child transmission, and to reduce the possibility of complications in symptomatic neonates.
