Study of perinatal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a Mexican public hospital

Objectives: COVID-19 is a viral transmissible disease and there is limited evidence on vertical transmission and prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the possible perinatal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in m...

This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the possible perinatal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in mothers and neonates in a Mexican population. Methods: A total of 133 nasopharyngeal swab samples from mothers, 131 swab samples from neonates, and 140 colostrum samples were obtained, and the presence of SARS-CoV-2 was determined by qPCR. Results: One in eight asymptomatic 38–39 weeks’ pregnant women were positive for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swabs taken just before delivery; and one in 12 nasopharyngeal swabs collected from neonates immediately after delivery without breast feeding were also positive. It was also determined that one in 47 colostrum/milk samples were positive for the test. In addition, there was no association between positive results and any collected metadata of mothers or newborns. Conclusions: Asymptomatic women carried the SARS-CoV-2 virus during delivery, with perinatal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to newborns. Since neonates were sampled immediately after birth, the detection of positive cases might be due to infection by the virus in utero.Adriana Ramírez-RosasTizziani Benitez-GuerreroKarina Corona-CervantesJuan Manuel Vélez-IxtaNorma Gabriela Zavala-TorresJazmin Cuenca-LeijaSarahi Martínez-PichardoMaría Esther Landero-Montes-de-OcaFernando Guadalupe Bastida-GonzálezPaola Berenice Zárate-SeguraJaime García-MenaElsevierarticlePerinatal transmissionCOVID-19Human milkSARS-CoV-2RT-qPCRRT-ddPCRInfectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216ENInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol 113, Iss , Pp 225-232 (2021)
