Vertical transmission of coronavirus disease 2019: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Alexander M. Kotlyar et al.

Summary: The study found that 3.2% of 936 neonates from mothers with coronavirus disease 2019 tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 viral RNA using nasopharyngeal swab. The rates of infection are similar to those of other pathogens causing congenital infections but further research is needed to determine the rates of vertical transmission in early pregnancy and potential risk for fetal morbidity and mortality.

Expression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 cell entry genes, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and transmembrane protease serine 2, in the placenta across gestation and at the maternal-fetal interface in pregnancies complicated by preterm birth or preeclampsia

Enrrico Bloise et al.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the expression pattern of specific severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 cell entry genes, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and transmembrane protease serine 2, in the placenta across human pregnancy and in paired samples of decidua and placenta in pregnancies complicated by preterm birth or preeclampsia compared with those in term uncomplicated pregnancies. The increased expression of these genes in the placenta in the first trimester of pregnancy compared with later stages suggests differential susceptibility to placental entry of SARS-CoV-2 across pregnancy.

V Faure-Bardon et al.

Summary: The study found that ACE2 expression can be detected in fetal kidney, rectum, and ileum samples from 15 weeks onward, and was barely detectable in fetal lung samples at 15 + 5 weeks' gestation. ACE2 expression was not found in the fetal brain, heart, or cardiac tissues.

SARS-CoV-2 and the Gastrointestinal Tract in Children

Maria Giovanna Puoti et al.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, not only affects the respiratory system, but also has a significant impact on the gastrointestinal system. The disease enters cells through ACE-2 receptors, which are abundantly expressed in enterocytes. In children, gastrointestinal symptoms may present early and include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, sometimes leading to severe inflammation such as terminal ileitis.

Characteristics and outcomes of neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK: a prospective national cohort study using active surveillance

Chris Gale et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the incidence, characteristics, transmission, and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in neonates who received inpatient hospital care in the UK. The findings showed that neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection was uncommon in babies admitted to hospital, with low likelihood of infection following birth to a mother with perinatal SARS-CoV-2 infection and rare possible vertical transmission. The high proportion of babies from Black, Asian, or minority ethnic groups requires further investigation.

Integrated trajectories of the maternal metabolome, proteome, and immunome predict labor onset

Ina A. Stelzer et al.

Summary: This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of blood samples near the end of pregnancy using a multiomic model, revealing coordinated changes in maternal metabolome, proteome, and immunome 2 to 4 weeks before delivery. These changes, including a surge in steroid hormone metabolites and interleukin-1 receptor type 4, marked a shift from pregnancy maintenance to prelabor biology, providing insights for predicting the day of labor.

Defining Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Placentitis Report of 7 Cases With Confirmatory In Situ Hybridization, Distinct Histomorphologic Features, and Evidence of Complement Deposition

Jaclyn C. Watkins et al.

Summary: The study found that SARS-CoV-2 placentitis is characterized by histiocytic intervillositis, perivillous fibrin deposition, and trophoblast necrosis. These features may occur in cases without confirmed transplacental transmission, and the damage caused is likely mediated by complement activation.

Amine Bouachba et al.

Summary: The study reported 5 cases of poor fetal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19, including 3 fetal deaths and 2 extreme premature neonates. All placentas showed massive perivillous fibrin deposition and large intervillous thrombi, associated with strong SARS-CoV-2 expression in trophoblast and RT-PCR positivity for the virus in amniotic fluid or placenta samples.

ACE2 Is Expressed in Immune Cells That Infiltrate the Placenta in Infection-Associated Preterm Birth

Phetcharawan Lye et al.

Summary: The study found that in pregnancies complicated by chorioamnionitis, the mRNA expression of ACE2 and CCL2 increased, while treatment with lipopolysaccharide led to an increase in cytokines and ACE2 mRNA in placental explants. The research also revealed that some immune cells from pregnant women's peripheral blood express ACE2 mRNA and protein, indicating a potential pathway for SARS-CoV-2 virus to access the placenta in cases of chorioamnionitis.

Summary: This study aimed to report the spectrum of placental pathology findings in pregnancies complicated by SARS-CoV-2 infection. A significant proportion of placentas in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection showed histopathologic findings suggestive of placental hypoperfusion and inflammation. Future multicenter prospective blinded studies are needed to correlate these placental lesions with pregnancy outcomes.
