Coronavírus Infections, Newborns, Signs and SymptomsAbstract
In December 2019, there was an outbreak of a new infectious disease in Wuhan in Hubei province in China. Coronavírus disease 2019 (Corona VIrus Disease - COVID-19) is caused by the seventh identified coronavírus: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This article aims to gather the current knowledge available in the literature on COVID-19 in newborns, with a focus on epidemiology, signs and symptoms, results of diagnostic and imaging tests and neonatal outcome. According to Chinese studies, the likelihood of intrauterine transmission appears to be low. Children account for about 2% of the cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in China, 1.7% in Brazil and 1.2% in Italy. Neonates born from mothers with confirmed COVID-19 presented dyspnea, cyanosis, vomiting and food intolerance, fever, tachycardia, groans and skin rash. On tomographic examination, the halo sign involving consolidation is a typical characteristic of pediatric patients, differently from that expected for adults.
