| Popis: | This article reports the case of a 28-year-old female 31.6 weeks pregnant with twins diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, who delivered a boy and a girl. The newborns underwent RT-PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2; the male tested negative and the female newborn tested positive, in that the female placenta was SARS-CoV-2 positive and the male placenta negative. Clinical and laboratory findings evincing vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 were identified. Strict, multidisciplinary prenatal care is recommended for this group of patients. This case report alone does not provide statistical evidence of vertical transmission, but it is an account of a relevant matter. |
