Abstract
We specifically addressed the persistent challenge of dengue in endemic regions, highlighting the potential seriousness of dengue infection through vertical transmission. Vertical dengue transmission has been well documented, particularly in hyper-endemic regions, including Ecuador. Herein, we present a neonate diagnosed with congenital dengue and review similar cases from previously published reports. Although congenital dengue is commonly infected with severe serotypes of DENV (DENV-1 and DENV-2) infections, favorable outcomes are generally observed.
