Dear editor,
Since the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, there has been an exponential increase in the number of cases worldwide, which has led to a challenging pandemic.
Given the low number of reported cases, there are still scarce data about COVID-19 in the neonatal period.
Available studies are based in small samples and guidelines are non-consensual, which makes this issue not yet well understood in this specific population.
In order to gain a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the neonatal period, we carefully reviewed allpublications about COVID-19 in pregnancy and neonates in the MEDLINE and PubMed databases between December 2019 and March 2020.
