Limited details are available regarding the vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women. The authors' current study aimed to report the vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in a woman pregnant with twins. The authors report the case of a 27-year-old woman infected with SARS-CoV-2. The patient was pregnant with dichorionic diamniotic fraternal twins and admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China. After undergoing a cesarean section, the patient gave birth to premature twins, who tested positive for COVID-19 infection. Findings from this case suggest a possibility of intrauterine infection caused by vertical transmission in a woman infected with COVID-19.
关于新冠病毒感染在孕妇中的垂直传播可能性,目前可用的细节有限。作者的当前研究旨在报告新冠病毒感染在一名怀有双胞胎的孕妇中的垂直传播可能性。作者报告了一名感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的27岁女性病例。该患者怀有双绒毛膜双羊膜囊异卵双胞胎,在中国武汉的武汉大学人民医院住院。剖宫产术后,该患者产下早产双胞胎,双胞胎新冠病毒感染检测呈阳性。该病例的研究结果表明,新冠病毒感染女性存在因垂直传播导致宫内感染的可能性。
