    BackgroundAlmost every day, new information about the COVID-19 pandemic continues to emerge. COVID-19 presents a mild clinical picture in children. However, how it goes in newborns and pregnant is still entirely unclear.AimsTo present the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 positive newborns and outcomes of babies born to mothers diagnosed with COVID-19.MethodsThe present cohort-study examined two groups. The first group includes fourteen newborns born to mothers diagnosed with COVID-19. The second group evaluates twelve newborns infected with SARS-CoV-2.ResultsFourteen infants born to mothers diagnosed with COVID-19 were not infected with SARS-CoV-2. They had no symptoms and pathological laboratory findings. Additionally, forty-one newborns suspected of COVID-19 were evaluated, and 12 of them were detected to be infected with SARS-CoV-2. The most common symptoms were feeding intolerance (vomiting or refusing to feed, 58%), cough (50%), elevated fever (42%), and respiratory distress (42%).ConclusionWe did not come across any signs of vertical SARS-CoV-2 transmission. COVID-19 diagnosed newborns entirely healed with conservative treatment.© 2021. Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland.
