Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 can be vertically transmitted from the mother to the fetus and the neonate. This transmission route is rare compared to the environmental or horizontal spread and therefore, the risk can be deemed inconsequential by some medical providers. However, severe, although just as rare, feto-neonatal consequences are possible: fetal demise, severe/critical neonatal COVID-19 and multi-inflammatory syndrome (MIS-N) have been described. Therefore, it is important for the clinicians to know the mechanism of vertical transmission, how to recognize this, and how to deal with neonatal COVID-19 and MIS-N. Our knowledge about this field has significantly increased in the last three years. This is a summary of the pathophysiology, diagnostics, and therapeutics of vertical SARS-CoV-2 transmission that clinicians apply in their clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine (formerly Seminars in Neonatology) is a bi-monthly journal which publishes topic-based issues, including current ''Hot Topics'' on the latest advances in fetal and neonatal medicine. The Journal is of interest to obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
The Journal commissions review-based content covering current clinical opinion on the care and treatment of the pregnant patient and the neonate and draws on the necessary specialist knowledge, including that of the pediatric pulmonologist, the pediatric infectious disease specialist, the surgeon, as well as the general pediatrician and obstetrician.
Each topic-based issue is edited by an authority in their field and contains 8-10 articles.
Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine provides:
• Coverage of major developments in neonatal care;
• Value to practising neonatologists, consultant and trainee pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives and fetal medicine specialists wishing to extend their knowledge in this field;
• Up-to-date information in an attractive and relevant format.
