We report a laboratory confirmed case of vertical transmission of dengue in a mother-child pair in the eastern part of Puerto Rico. The clinical course of the pregnant female suggested a GBS infection, but laboratory tests confirmed it was dengue infection, one week after delivery. The male infant was healthy at birth, but one week after birth developed clinical complications related to vertical transmission of dengue. This report targets physicians in dengue endemic countries like Puerto Rico to be aware of the possibility of vertical transmission of dengue in symptomatic pregnant patients, especially around the time of delivery.
我们报告了波多黎各东部一对母婴之间登革热垂直传播的实验室确诊病例。该孕妇的临床病程提示为B组链球菌感染，但分娩一周后的实验室检测证实为登革热感染。男婴出生时健康，但出生一周后出现了与登革热垂直传播相关的临床并发症。本报告旨在提醒波多黎各等登革热流行国家的医生，要意识到有症状的孕妇，尤其是在分娩前后，存在登革热垂直传播的可能性。
