| Popis: | COVID-19 infection is primarily a community-acquired airborne respiratory infection, making pediatric and neonatal populations extremely vulnerable to the disease. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, many questions regarding mother and infant health have arisen, one of the most discussed issues being the management of infants born to mothers with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Is it advisable to separate the child from the positive mother immediately after birth? What are the recommendations for breastfeeding? Are there any short and long-term follow-up indications or are there any possible long-term complications that we should take into account in those children? And not lastly, what are the most respectful and ethical measures both for mother and infant? We aim to analyze and compare the existing guidelines regarding the management of infants born to mothers with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and to discuss the similarities and discrepancies between the available protocols. |
