Epidemiology of COVID-19 infection in young children under five years: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Mejbah Uddin Bhuiyan et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infection in children under five years old, revealing that approximately half of the cases were infants, about half of the cases were asymptomatic, and a small portion required hospitalization. Ongoing surveillance is needed to better understand the transmission and clinical presentation of COVID-19 in young children.

Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, Antibodies, and Neutralizing Capacity in Milk Produced by Women with COVID-19

Ryan M. Pace et al.

Summary: This study did not detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in breast milk samples, indicating no transmission of the virus through milk. Breast milk from infected mothers contains anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgA and IgG, which neutralizes the virus and supports the recommendation to continue breastfeeding during maternal COVID-19 illness.

The multifaceted roles of breast milk antibodies

Caroline Atyeo et al.

Summary: Neonates rely on maternal antibodies transferred via the placenta and breast milk for protection, with breast milk antibodies playing important roles in preventing infections, supporting the selection of commensals, and promoting tolerizing immunity.

Immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in Pregnant and Lactating Women

Ai-ris Y. Collier et al.

Summary: This study assessed the immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in pregnant and lactating women, as well as the responses against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. The results showed that pregnant, lactating, and nonpregnant women developed antibody and T-cell responses following vaccination, with antibodies transferred to infant cord blood and breast milk. While antibody titers against the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 variants were reduced, T-cell responses remained against the viral variants.

Diverse Humoral Immune Responses in Younger and Older Adult COVID-19 Patients

Jennifer M. Sasson et al.

Summary: The study revealed stronger antibody responses to specific SARS-CoV-2 epitopes in older patients, correlated with systemic cytokine responses. Additionally, some patients showed minimal antibody reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 antigens and experienced severe clinical outcomes.

Perinatal COVID-19: review of current evidence and practical approach towards prevention and management

Venkateshwarlu Vardhelli et al.

Summary: The impact of perinatal COVID-19 on neonates is generally mild, with the majority being asymptomatic, and respiratory distress being the most common presentation. Vertical transmission appears as a possible route of infection, while practices like breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact can be safe with proper precautions in COVID-19-infected mothers.
