【 摘 要 】

The current 2019 coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has turned out to be the largest and most pervasive health emergency worldwide. Although novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is insistently attacking the adult population, contingency plans are impacting all areas of medicine worldwide. In particular, puerperants, parents of newborns, and infants are becoming infected with severe consequences on neonatal assistance. At present, there is no definitive evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted transplacentally (1–5), and there are no virus detection reports of SARS-CoV-2 in amniotic fluid or placenta in infected pregnant women (6). However, data are scarce on whether early-stage fetal infection can lead to teratogenic effects.
