Apnea in Term and Late Preterm Neonates Born to Coronavirus Infected Mothers

We report three otherwise healthy neonates born to Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) positive mothers who developed apnea during birth admission but tested negative for COVID-19 We postulate that the apnea may be due to transplacental transmission of inflammatory cytokines We strongly advise against early discharge in babies born to mothers with active COVID-19 infection [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Neonatology Today is the property of Loma Linda Publishing Company and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract may be abridged No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract (Copyright applies to all Abstracts )
