COVID-19 in pregnancy – a possible risk factor for the poor neurological outcome of the infant (original) (raw)

2022, Revista română de pediatrie

AI-generated Abstract

COVID-19 during pregnancy may pose risks for poor neurological outcomes in infants due to potential maternal-fetal transmission and the inflammatory response associated with the infection. Existing literature showcases conflicting evidence regarding the extent of neurological disorders in newborns prenatally exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Key indicators such as reduced fetal movements suggest possible adverse outcomes, emphasizing the necessity for follow-up programs and identifying at-risk infants for early intervention. A diet enriched with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients may help mitigate negative effects during pregnancy.
