Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, has led to an unprecedented global pandemic affecting people of all ages. In this case series, all COVID-19 positive neonates (≤28 days of life) born to mothers with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection were selected from tertiary care hospital, in Central India from March 2020 to September 2020. There were 15 neonates affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this case series, authors found that out of 15 neonates, 5 were male and 10 were female. Main symptoms were fever, shortness of breath, poor feeding and others (like-abdomen distension, vomiting) but, often these neonates did not showed other symptoms during stay in designated COVID-19 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with no mortality found in this case series. COVID-19 positive neonates showed a good prognosis, with low rate of severe complications and without any mortality. Treatment was mostly symptomatic or supportive. Most of the neonates tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 were asymptomatic or had mild disease.
