Deskripsi

More than five million people worldwide have been infected with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), and it has been reported that children are less infected than adults and newborns are less infected than children. The symptoms of COVID-19 are mild in children compared to adults and can often be asymptomatic. However, after 1 year of the epidemic, serious cases began to be reported in children, especially with mutant strains. Pediatricians need to know the diagnosis and course of these infections in newborns in terms of case management. There is still a lack of definitive information on the infection and transmission of COVID-19 in newborns. In this case series, four cases of community-acquired neonatal COVID-19 infection followed in our clinic are presented.
