Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic will continue affecting pregnant women with possibility of vertical transmissions. However, knowledge and evidences regarding vertical transmission of COVID-19 are just emerging. This information is very crucial in the obstetrical care of COVID-19 infected women as well as in the care of newborn born to COVID-19 positive mothers. We report a case of vertical transmission in a neonate born to asymptomatic COVID-19 infected mother. Newborn was immediately shifted to isolation nursery and formula feed was started. The nasopharyngeal swab of newborn taken at 42 hours of life tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Therefore the vertical transmission in COVID-19 is possible. Despite this, the neonatal outcome is good. Keywords: Duodenal atresia; flip flop circulation; neonates; persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行将继续影响孕妇，存在垂直传播的可能性。然而，有关 COVID-19 垂直传播的知识和证据才刚刚出现。这些信息对于 COVID-19 感染妇女的产科护理以及对 COVID-19 阳性母亲所生新生儿的护理非常重要。我们报告了一例无症状 COVID-19 感染母亲所生新生儿的垂直传播病例。新生儿立即被转移到隔离新生儿室，并开始配方奶喂养。新生儿在出生后 42 小时的鼻咽拭子通过 RT-PCR 检测到 SARS-CoV-2 呈阳性。因此，COVID-19 存在垂直传播的可能性。尽管如此，新生儿结局良好。关键词：十二指肠闭锁；翻转循环；新生儿；新生儿持续性肺动脉高压。
